Leonardo by Kim Acosta

This was my fourth attempt in trying to use Leonardo's scientific method. I tried to draw a 3D linear perspective which I found very difficult. My eyes could see it, but my hands could not transpose it to paper. Even more difficult was trying to send a charcoal sketch over the internet. I placed several items on a table and used my fireplace as a background. The background is more abstract and fuzzy to create more depth. The 2 small candle holders were made of many small glass tiles that I tried to reflect the window light from the left side. Also, there was a window behind me that reflected my lighted image onto the objects. Obviously, I am not an artist and that is why you are unable to see my reflection. To create balance, I found myself adding more objects. -Kim Acosta
