Leonardo da Vinci's "Treatise on Painting" is an interesting read ... if you can find a copy - I highly recommend it!
#360 - Advice to Painters - "A painter ought to study universal Nature, and reason much within himself on all he sees, making use of the most excellent parts that compose the species of every object before him. His mind will by this method be like a mirror, reflecting truly every object placed before it, and become, as it were, a second Nature."
