    Leonardo was one of the first artists in Italy to use oil paints instead of egg tempera.He enjoyed the freedom it gave him to rework a painting.

    No one knows what he really look liked as he only did one self-portrait of himself when he was really old (it's not a very good portrait).

    He was an annoying twit who couldn't get any of my drawings right. Always had to change them to suit his own vision. I mean, geesh! Did you see his helicopter design when he was finished? No wonder it was a few hundred more years before we had powered flight.

    He had a learning disability. He wanted to learn Latin as all educated people of his day did, but found it too difficult and gave up. He was embarrassed about writing in Italian which was considered "street language"

    He used peculiar spellings and abbreviations, and his notes are not arranged in any logical order.

    The man is fascinating. One thing I remember reading is that he was ambidextrous and trained himself to write text in a backwards, "mirrored" mode.

    He was a pretty good painter, but merely an adequate plumber and electrician.

    He designed the first known tank I believe and he spent alot of time on anatomy. He had some fairly detailed drawings of the human body, inside and out.

    He could draw a perfect circle freehand and used it as his "calling card" when he tried to visit people who weren't home.
