2) Select the pretty ones, and those other ones you like but you have no idea why. You can print them if you want, doesn't really matter. The laptop screen is fairly enough for the next steps.
3) Look into your neighboorhood garbages for flat surfaces: wood panels, cardboards (ligther than wood: remember that you have to carry them !). Grab that rag too, you don't want to use your old t-shirt that you don't wear anymore.
4) Put one or two layers of white gesso to make the viewer (and yourself) believe it does not come from a trash-basket and, more importantly, it won't end there neither.
5) Let it dry, you don't want to rush things, you are an artist. Watch some TV shows to kill time. Pretend you are doing research.
6) Choose one of the pictures, some flat brushes and a couple of tiny pointy ones; set up some oil paint on your palette (you don't need so much white, don't waste !)
7) Reproduce the picture onto the surface with the tools listed in 6).
8) Struggle.
9) Stop when you can't take it anymore. It looks unfinished to you, but everyone loves it that way.
10) Wait a few weeks (watch movies), and look at it again: it is perfect after all.
