Continued from [Mystique #7 - 8] : printing stage 9 | Starting point of the thread was [Mystique #7 - 1] : work begins

Three today, although most of the work on the first one was done yesterday ...

And all three of these are kind of subtle, but do make the print a lot more attractive. First is a green/brown gradation around the top of the persimmon:

Then we switch to the other end of the fruit, for a bit of shading down there:

This next one will only be visible in the enlargement (if there) - it is a secondary tone that picks out many of the details of the insect:

(Once we're done, and I have time for it, I'll take a closeup scan of the insect, so we can see that better ...)

Three to go ...

The thread continues in [Mystique #7 - 10] : printing stages 13~14 ...
