According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Leonardo da vinci closely imitated his master, Andrea del Verrocchio (1435-1488). Leonardo saw observation as key, and drawing was vitally important in his process. He was interested in the physical act of seeing and in how the eye saw and interpreted colour and shape. He used perspective or diminution to help him to compose a realistic piece and would alter the saturation of colour to give depth to the image. His own writings are translated on the internet, and they offer great insight into his mind.
