Best Answer

The piece of work is a fresco. He most likely began with a 'cartoon' or rough sketch of the composition. This is transferred onto the wall with charcoal usually, and then the fresco process begins. This consists of applying wet plaster onto the wall and painting the picture into the plaster. Artists were always experimenting with fresco seeking the best plaster and pigment mixture that would dry quickly, but not too quickly, not change color or run and numerous other problems. Writings by Vasarri are one source on Leonardo from a contemporary, and may have more information on the actual process da Vinci used on the work.
