If you want to learn the art of painting from none other than the legend Leonardo Da Vinci, you have got the right book “A Treatise on painting”. Though this book was not written as a book by Da Vinci himself, this book is a collection of manuscripts from his observations on painting for many years.
Published after his death, this book starts with accurate instructions on drawing human body and moves onto various aspects of painting such as composition, proportion, anatomy, linear perspective, expressions, shadowing, contrasting effects, and coloring. As a whole this book is an inevitable read for anyone who is passionate about painting as art.
