Phase 1: Make a shape, or choose a simple object. Place that simple shape inside a small rectangle and consider the space around it to make a composition. Save this. Then repeat the process, placing the same basic shape on the same sized rectangle, in a different way each time. Repeat to make enough for a full block of rows and columns.
Phase 2: When you have an even number to make a block, assemble all the different compositions into a new whole. Move the individual compositions until you are pleased with the final composition with them all together.

To transcribe a painting or drawing is not to copy the artwork exactly, but instead to record observations in a different form. A transcription also doesn’t need to copy everything in an original.
