My Painting: Loquat 国画 枇杷果

Loquat is a tropical fruit,originated in China. It is so called Pipa for its leaves,big and hard, looking like classical instrument Chinese lute (Pipa).
Every spring, a great deal of pipa are ripe. their color are yellow, very beautiful!
it looks like apricot especially from a distance and looks like small orange, if you watch it closely.
And it implies the fortune and treasure in Chinese painting as well as orange.
Its fruit is sweet and its leaves and flowers are used as a medicine. So it is a valuable fruit. No wander people used to look on loquat as a tribute.
As a northerner of China, I seldom eat it, only remember one time. Today I would like to share with you the painting---Loquat. Hope you enjoy it!

枇杷是一种热带水果，原产于我国。由于其叶子又大又硬，形状长的很像我国古典乐器琵琶，而得其名。
每年早春，大量的枇杷果成熟上市，金灿灿的，非常漂亮。远看好像黄杏一样，近看又有点像蜜橘。而它和金橘一样金黄金黄的寓意着吉利和财富。

它的果实甘甜，叶子和花均可入药, 也是很珍贵的水果。难怪历史上常被作为贡品。作为北方人，我很少吃枇杷，印象中也只有一次。

今天就给大家分享一下这好吃又好看的枇杷的画法。

Materal 工具:

Chinese brushes 毛笔粗细不同的4-5只

Xuan Paper 生宣纸

Chinese painting colour 中国画颜料

Ink 墨汁

---

The Process:

1、先调中等墨色，画一个小茶壶和茶杯。 杯子画小了，应该最后添加装饰物就好了。。

2、用藤黄和华青，朱膘，胭脂 调好画出草莓，再用曙红画出樱桃。

(⊙﹏⊙)，这杯子真是太mini 了。

3、然后开始画枇杷果。用藤黄，土黄，赭石， 一点点调和。

4、再用浅一点的墨色，画一个高脚盘子。（旁边不小心染了一块，最后画上叶子遮掩一下了。）
再用赭石加墨混合，画果柄。

5、再多画一些果实。然后用浓墨点它的脐。

6、最后画一些小细节，给盘子画上花纹，给叶子勾筋。左上方留空题字。这幅画就完成了。

Thank you !
