Study after Kandinsky's "Gelb-Rot-Blau"

Kandinsky's original "Gelb-Rot-Blau" ("Yellow-Red-Blue") (1925)
First stage: a full representation of the painting, making the lines and shapes as vectores, painting the background with freehand brushes.
Removing the background to see the established relationships between colors, shapes and forms. Kandinsky's genius is evident, as this flat colored composition reveals to keep balanced, even on a white background.
Inverting all colors, we get a mostly blue(ish) figure, referencing Kandinsky's "Blaue Reiter" phase. 
Bringing back the red/yellow/blue motto, but playing with background color, stroke colors and blue-ish shapes.
