Smudge transparencies, halvsies 01 - 06

The name "halvsies" is, as one might have guessed, a play on the word "half", or rather "(two) halves". The transparencies were borne out of the necessity to introduce smaller, more intricate smudge images to the canvas. The closer the projector is to the canvas, the smaller the projected image, but the projector I use in the studio must be placed approx. 140 cm away from the canvas, any closer results in a blurred image.
Each of the first three of these contain two extant transparencies; the last three are new images.

Smudge transparencies, spindly 01 - 06

The spindly transparencies are marked by relatively long and thin lines and, when considering each independent element (or element pair), are less dense than the most of the previous images up until now. The goal was to be able to introduce pictorial elements to the painting in progress without overloading the selected space on the canvas.

Smudge transparencies, minismudges 01 - 06

The name "minismudge" is pretty self-explanatory - I was looking for smaller, independent units using the smudge technique, a further reduction in size than with the halvsies.
