Genesis of an Idea

[Di Sandland]

I thought it might help the other beginners amongst us if I documented my progress with this idea that has been keeping me awake at night! I am starting work on it today.

So - my thoughts are based around a local beach; Putsborough. I've been playing with colour, now I want to add shape into the mix, whilst at the same time working in a new (for me) discipline - PMC.

Here's the picture I'm working from. Strangely, I took this photo long before we moved to live here. We lived just outside Luton at the time and I would look at this image and plan my life in Devon. I got the life in Devon, just not the chocolate box one I had so fondly imagined My next move is to trace this onto template paper and play around with the shapes; always bearing in mind things like connections and findings.
