Drawing through Da Vinci’s ideas

Leonardo da Vinci’s art and studies provide the framework for this drawing course. Reproductions from his sketchbooks accompany practical exercises focused on geometry, anatomy and proportion, with examples ranging from the Vitruvian Man and the Mona Lisa to La Scapigliata. The topics also include the Golden Ratio, perspective and sfumato, connecting close observation of the human form with techniques used in drawing. Alongside the instruction, the book introduces aspects of Da Vinci’s artistic, engineering and philosophical work, giving the exercises a historical context. It combines visual examples and step-by-step practice for exploring principles associated with his work and applying them to one’s own drawing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking practical instruction in life drawing, anatomy and proportion.
  • Artists interested in Da Vinci’s techniques, sketchbooks and artistic legacy.
