Clutter

The top study is based off optical color and the bottom is pointillism. Optical color is a style of mixing and applying paint while pointillism is where you put colors next to others so when the observer steps back the colors mix and create a seemingly completed artwork. 

Final Day study

It started as a gray scale painting that was then painted with color. The final steps were to create colors by layers of glazing. The layers were transparent enough to create new mixtures.
