Paintings with a door knob.

The paintings on these doors were meant to acompany and balance the mural of the opposite wall ( Chapter 1 of Demeures Peintes , Hôtel du Marechal de Tingry. They are definitely the minor part of the design...but I like them as much as the major one.
Each door was treated as a whole but also as three different paintings nicely framed and separated from the rest by the  moldings. I think that even the small skiny panels have their own identity. This really is what I found exciting. When I look at a painting I like focusing on details and in this case  the structure of the doors was allowing me to recreate this style of vision.

I worked from Leornardo's drawings .

I drew with charcoal on basecoated paper and  sealed it with acrlylic glaze that I watered down and sprayed over.

Being ambidextrous I can write backwards with my left hand which helped me copying Leonardo's famous handwriting...
