The net is the only real line-work in the series. Everything else is a flat shape; the melon is a flat shape wearing a cage of black lines.

Rind and stem are red here, as the leaves are on the peach. In a two-ink print the fruit's own colour is the only colour available to it.

Two inks, one field, 8 fruits. Printed at 2048 × 1152 for the poster, 1200 × 630 for the link card, upscaled for the screens above.
