I felt inspired after my trip to the Tate Modern where I spent much of my time at the material worlds gallery space. I was particularly inspired by Niki De Saint Phalle who is well know for her abstract textured paintings. I created these experiments based on the work I had seen. I feel some have been more successful than others however I still feel I have achieved the texture look I aimed for by using such methods as impasto painting and mediums like powered paints and thick acrylic.
