My Painting: Dragon Fruit 火龙果

Dragon fruit is not only a beautiful fruit but also contains rich nutrition. We all know it is a large red fruit with green tentacles on its skin. It is so bright-colored and beautiful, so red just like a fire. I still remeber when I ate it for the first time, I thought it must be a sweet fruit, after eating it, I found that its taste is so plain. Later, I gradually love its taste and often buy them from the market. Most of them are red and white pulp. It is said that there are yellow dragon fruit, but I haven't seen it in our market.

Today I want to share with you the painting of dragon fruit, this is my first time to paint it in the way of Chinese painting, and I have got a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy it.

火龙果的外表红配绿，红的像火一样，非常的艳丽。记得第一次吃火龙果的时候看它的外表就觉得它一定是特别甜的那种水果，没想到吃的时候才发现味道竟然如此平淡、温和，觉得没什么特别的。但就是这样的朴实，平淡的水果，它确含有丰富的营养价值。尤其是里面含有的花青素对人体特别有益。
据说在美洲当地等地区，每逢重大节日，人们将火龙果供奉祭坛上。所以它不仅是一种绿色的环保的水果还是一种吉祥果、圣果。今天就来画画这个圣果吧。
