Then your goal is to do *simple* copies of these objects from what you see inside the hole, over to the canvas. This is called sight sized drawing and it's a very well established method that works well. The key is to GUESS THEN MEASURE:
Sit in the middle of the hole in the box and the canvas so your eyes/nose are between them both. Then get far enough back that you can see both without moving your head much. Now, guess where you think a shape it and make a little mark, then measure to see if you got it. Fix it
Keep doing this, through the drawing to get basic shapes, then through a simple block-in like I did above with the 4 studies. Go just that far, then scrape it off, use a little water to wipe it down cleanish, and after the water dries go for it again.
If you can do a ton of *just* simple sight sized drawings and first step value studies, until you can do them fairly consistently, then the rest of painting is fairly smooth. Getting very good at the start pays off big time later. It's also fun trying to solve the puzzle.
There ya go, that's the end of the lesson. I may do another one tomorrow, so if you have questions feel free to ask.
