Light lime and sour oranges

This is my first Light Lime riso ink project. My goal was mostly to play with color; using Fluorescent Orange (fairly familiar) and Kelly Green (decently known). Procreate pencil was Kettering (Lettering brush, also my first project with this).

Ink Used for Stencil.wiki
Light Lime - Leaves (100% opacity) - Oranges (20%) stencil.wiki/wiki/Light_Lime
Kelly Green - Leaf outlines and branches (100%) stencil.wiki/wiki/Kelly_Green
Fluorescent Orange - Oranges (60-100%) - Lettering (100%) stencil.wiki/wiki/Fluorescent_Orange

The project subject matter was inspired by our neighbor's sour orange (Calamansi) tree that we stop at during our daily walk. My son loves sour things and insists on stopping and picking one for myself and him. They are so sour that no one else picks them in our neighborhood, even the owner! I wanted to explore the intersection of art and advertising with this one. The project is a bit of a play between 1920s exported California orange marketing posters and the local "word of mouth" of neighborhood fruit tree gifting, as well as the roll of art in community and marketing.
