Leonardo Da Vinci, the father of the Renaissance, needs no introduction. For a man who hasn't heard of him has no place scrolling through the pages of this blog.
So we shall delve into the wisdom of the wisest of men;
Throughout his notes, Da Vinci never rests at reinforcing significance of experience in any path in life. When talking about painting, he says "Those who are in love with practice without knowledge are like the sailor who gets into a ship without a ridder or compass and who never can be certain whether he is going. Practice must always be founded on sound theory, and to this Perspective is the guide and gateway; and without this nothing can be done well in the matter of drawing."
In regards to painting specifically, he goes onto say "The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence."
And building on from perspective, he deliberates the attributes of painting: "Painting is concerned with all 10 attributes of sight; which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest."
So yield beneath them, and learn from the men of experience.
