Picture in paintings misleading

Didn't really know where else to stick this, and it's only really a mild complaint, but yeah.

In your section for how to make a custom painting in minecraft, the first and only picture you have for an example,
is map art.. Not a painting.

For anyone who doesn't look at the tutorial video, or just potential new modders, this can be very easily misleading,
causing them to think they can just put whatever texture they want in there, and have it work.

I would suggest removing that example picture, and adding something a bit more proper/informative.

WELL, don't I look foolish. 

Turns out it wasn't misleading at all, it was the tutorial video that was misleading!

You CAN just slap any texture into the custom painting, regardless of resolution, and it'll fit the dimensions set into the painting. The tutorial's just for making it look "authentic" to minecraft's other paintings.

I just assumed that wasn't possible for whatever reason and thought the art on the entry was map art someone had mistakenly put up there.

My apologies, disregard this thread.
