Okay paint from reference gurus. I need help

I'm having an issue when trying to paint from reference to create some paintings. I've tried everything I know and I'm just getting frustrated.
When trying to paint from an adjacent lot, if I put the easel where all the guides say to put the easel and try to paint the image, I get major lighting issues. Most specifically (and the most annoying of which) I get a large nearly white block on about a quarter of the painting.
I've tried different lots, different heights and sizes for the pictures, different times of day. clear skies, cloudy skies, day/night, adding lighting everything I can think of. The only work around I have found is to paint the next painting over instead. But this is problematic as well because that makes the painting angled and some just need to be squared on the canvas. Am I the only one with this problem? Does anyone have any solutions?

I wanted to cheat up Bella Goth's painting skill and have her "paint from reference" a bunch of pictures of Mortimer Goth and her kids, and decorate the renovated mansion I made for her and upload it to the gallery. I was going to make it look like she had paintings from Forgotten Hollow, Glimmerbrook and Strangerville, as well as Willow Creek.
It's a base game renovation and I wanted to make up some fun storylines with the custom paintings!

I only just discovered that users make custom paintings because of this patch, and It's such a shame that they're "fixing" this. I searched on the gallery and I think there's still a lot of artwork from before the patch that can still be downloaded. The things you creative people do is amazing!
