From these he learned the conventions of drawing to a fixed scale, combining them with a fluent pen- and-wash technique to give a truthful, not just impressionistic, account of the future building. One sees his formidable skill as both a technical and a pictorial draftsman growing right through the show. "Altro diletto che Imparar non trouo," he scribbled in his notebook in Rome in 1614: "I find no other pleasure than learning...
