Saturday’s creation

As you may know I began a series of art lessons this week.  It is my aim to begin a decorative journal.  It will be a work in progress; (obvious I suppose!); I hope to work daily on it, using all mediums and materials.  Adding texture, colour, words and my little stamps.  

I began yesterday though this is on exploratory at the moment; I am working out ways to start although I have some ideas.  I began with a larger piece of paper and threw in all I know so far. Although it looks a little like a jumble; I am pleased with the result. I can see some useful concepts, some to be discarded and areas to work on.  So far I have played with watercolours and black ink.  What do you think?

I am going to the Royal Academy this morning to see the work of  Diego Rivera in Mexico : a Revolution in Art ,1910-1940.  He is well known for his murals  … I am not in that league but will be looking for ideas.
