I'm planning to paint a portraint of Leonardo Da Vinci using a certain theme. I'm actually going after Guissippe Archemboldo's (mind the spelling, please) notion of painting using themes.... such as, making a face only out of fruits, or nature, or books! So I am planning to paint 3/4 view of Leonardo's face mainly using human organs, such as hearts for his cheeks, large/small intestines for his beard, appendix for his eyeborws, etc... because he was actually an anatomist himself, so I thought it would be a great theme to draw him out of human organs... something along that line. My plan is to draw him out first then place the organs in place to make resemble him. I'm going to use water colour, pencil crayons, and acrylic on large illustration board. What do you guys think of this idea...?
