There's not a lor known about Leonardo's education but as an illegitimate child he was barred from the type of formal education available to the higher classes during this period. Da Vinci's mirror writing is most likely a childhhood mistake due to his left handedness which was never corrected. He could write normally but was perhaps most comfortable writing mirror. (He did though use both hands to draw) Leonardo's grandmother encouraged his art and his childhood was rich in practice. Her family produced majolica pottery and there is some evidence that Leonardo even participated. His upbringing was a country one in Vinci but it was not a backward place. There was fantastic artwork in the nearby churches and nature to inspire his drawings. It is recorded that Leonardo lived in Vinci ultil 1468. His training as an apprentice in Verrochio's workshop began between that date and 1472 when his name appears in the account book of the painters’ confraternity, the Compagnia di San Luca (“Company of St. Luke”) in Florence, which implies that he was working as painter in his own right.

In 1466 Leonardo was apprenticed to one of the most proficient artists of his day, Andrea di Cione, known as Verrocchio. The workshop of this famous master was at the centre of the intellectual currents of the day. Among those apprenticed or associated with the workshop were Perugino, Botticelli, and Lorenzo di Credi, assuring the young Leonardo of an advanced education in all branches of the humanities.

When Leonardo was twenty he joined the Guild of St Luke, the guild of artists and doctors of medicine, but even after his father set him up in his own workshop, his attachment to Verrocchio was such that he continued to work with him.
