For my second artist I chose Philip Taaffe. I found him whilst looking through an artist book and his bright colours and repetitive patterns caught my eye. I used him for my nature project because in a couple of pieces of his work it looks like he uses simple flower patterns which I thought were quite interesting and I automatically started thinking about how I could adapt his style to my work. I used watercolours, tissue paper and coloured pencils to create the back ground for this sheet. I applied the watercolours with a sponge and I think I will be likely to use this method again for experiments on my own images as I think it worked nicely and gave a great texture.
