Fleshing out the first of the studies.
Step 1: Adding a structure to the background space.
The grid of rectangles in the background above is actually a carefully calculated matrix of shapes utilizing 2 different interleaved mathematical Fibbonacci series. (Fibbonaci series, if you recall, are famous for incorporating the 'Golden Ratio' of 1.6 which is considered to be a 'natural' composition ratio that our brains intuitively react to).
Step 2. Start slapping on color:
Step 3. Experimenting with adding color to the figure.
Step 4. Experiment with the palette. Since these are fairly small images, it's easy to make drastic changes.
Step 5. I didn't like the pinkish tints above, so back to something more sober
Step 6. Where I finally ended up with the study
