Longevity Prediction

Over 5 to 10 years, the fine-line hatching on the leaves and the delicate stippled centers of the daisies will naturally soften and blur slightly. The saturated black sections on the butterfly wings will retain their high contrast, ensuring the overall composition remains legible even as the finer details merge into a soft vintage texture.

Technical Spec

Professional specialization notes: Maintain consistent hand speed and depth when pulling the long, fine lines of the daisy petals to avoid blowouts. Use a 1RL at a lower voltage for the pepper-shading in the flower centers to keep the dots distinct. Leave adequate negative space within the butterfly wings to ensure the black segments do not bleed together over time.
