  • One of the most influential people in the history art and design is Leonardo da Vinci. His way of drawing and visual thinking has been one of my biggest influences. In this video, we will look at Leonardo’s drawing techniques, and how we can learn from them to be better artists, architects, and designers. Learning from Leonardo is an important way to develop as an artist and visual thinker.

    'If you are just beginning as an artist, you must first learn Perspective - which is nothing more than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye. Without Perspective, nothing can be done well in matters of drawing, it is the guide and gateway of it.' - Leonardo da Vinci

    I have never come across the term ‘visual thinking’ until your video and it dawned on me that’s why I achieved my best exam results (decades ago when I was a young student) when I had reduced my lecture notes to diagram formats. I was terrible at rote learning and memorizing rules but I could visualize my diagrams and the salient points. This is quite a revelation for me. Thank you for a very interesting and informative video.

    You hit upon a point that few teachers ever comment upon, namely visual thinking. I have found that I learn more and I learn quicker if I can sketch it or otherwise ‘see’ what is being presented. This is most likely why I like to sketch and water color various things before me. Plus, if able to do this, the material I just learned stays with me. It is a better way, to me, to learn something without ‘memorizing’ the subject. I really enjoyed this video. Please give us more. -OkieSketcher1949

      Silverpoint is a silver wire: www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/zecchi-genuine-silverpoint-for-drawing-2mm-diameter
      Also to use on paper you need to coat the paper with a medium. I use a casein (milk) chalk ground: www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/sinopia-chalk-ground-casein-gesso-for-silverpoint-16oz-approx-500ml

    • @paulklee5790
      @paulklee5790 Рік тому +1

      It’s a bit of an effort to set yourself up to do silverpoint but it’s worth the slight expense and time… the line is like no other medium. On a screen it might look like pencil but it’s very different and much more beautiful. Over time the metal traces oxidise and the colour becomes very mellow and seductive. Most metals can be used to make a ‘point’ for example copper or even gold and you only need a tiny scrape of it, usually set in a pin vice or clutch pencil. The secret is to get the ground right but even a thin layer of gouache or even poster paint will work. I’ve even done drawings using toothpaste as a ground when on holiday! If your of an enquiring mind, do try it, it’s a tradition well worth joining up with…

    • @robertsarchitecture
      @robertsarchitecture  Рік тому +2

      The traditional way to learn how to draw is to take an object an draw it 100 times in all different styles, drawing tools, and different light. The story goes that Verrocchio gave young Leonardo a bone to draw. He drew it over and over until he was a master at drawing. You don't need to draw something as boring as a bone, but I suggest this drawing exercise if you are learning to draw. Hopefully after drawing something 100 times you will be an expert.

    • @robertsarchitecture
      @robertsarchitecture  11 місяців тому +2

      The ability to think three dimensionally is useful mostly in sculpture where you need to rotate an object in one's mind. In the Renaissance silversmiths used to make the mold for coins backwards then cast the coin or sculpture forwards. This is why, I believe, Leonardo could do this. Because he was trained by Verrocchio who was a goldsmith and sculptor. Anybody can learn how to do this, but obviously some people are better than others.
