Saturation and Paints

I spent the last 2 weeks learning more about my topic and visualizing examples of my final project. I plan to start my final product soon, and I will get the materials within this week. I plan to use paint for my final piece. I really liked the look of this piece and I thought the end result was really pretty. I would like my final piece to have similar shapes and colors. This one was also another favorite of mine. I liked the deep intensity of the colors (they were very saturated and bold) and the depth in the work makes the piece look 3 dimensional. Looking at the online image, it looks like the artist used acrylic paint. I don’t know if I want to use very saturated colors. So for a softer paint look, I looked at this piece for inspiration. The artist used watercolor paints and mixed water with the colors for a lighter, more watered-down effect.
