For
Oil-painting learners working from personal photos
Worth noticing
The library lists 1,566 passages from Leonardo’s manuscripts alongside books by Ruskin, Solomon, Sargent, and Corot.

Field notes

The planning section asks what the painting is for, then describes fitting a photo to a canvas and checking its large light-and-dark shapes by squinting or flipping the image in a mirror. A Leonardo example breaks the lesson into stages and attaches attributed passages, including chapter references from A Treatise on Painting. The library also names texts by Ruskin, Solomon, Sargent, and Corot; its Leonardo Notebooks entry specifies 1,566 passages.
