Layered color: healed vs. fresh

P.J. Redoute’s Rein Claude Franche Plums (1802)

Healed two years on S.

These plums were rendered in two sessions of layered color, where we tattoo the midtones in the first session and then the darks and lights over the top of the healed midtones to enhance the contrast and detail we can achieve. S has taken immaculate care of their piece, which looks nearly identical healed (left) as it did fresh (right). Thanks for taking such great care of your piece, S!
