The painting method of banana leaves

Musa, belonging to the Musaceae family, is a perennial herb. Its stem is soft, covered with a thick bark, and the outer skin is slightly green. A single stem emerges from the center of the flower, and the newly grown large calyx resembles an upturned lotus bud, with more than ten layers. The fruit grows along with the flower and is sweet in taste. Its leaves are broad, over ten feet long and one or two feet wide.

I. The Drawing Method of Banana Leaves:

For the dot drawing method on banana leaves, it is advisable to use a larger sheephair brush. First, outline the main veins with light ink, then spread the leaves with medium to light ink and broad strokes, and finally outline the pinnate branches with heavy ink. When drawing, the shape of the leaves should be taken into consideration. When laying out the leaves, they should not be too close to the main veins. There should be light strokes. The branches should not be drawn parallel but should have variations.

The banana leaves can be painted with ink or in color.

2. Draw banana leaves using the sketching method

First, use light ink to outline the main veins to determine the shape of the leaves. Then, outline the leaves, which should have a perspective variation. Finally, outline the branch veins. After the ink dries, spread it with light ochal. While it is still wet, cover it with three shades of green. When applying the three shades of green, make sure the brushstrokes are visible and do not apply it evenly. Also, leave the main veins.

Ii. The Painting Method of Banana Flowers

When outlining banana flowers, you can use light ink and draw them according to the front and back layers of the petals. The brushstrokes should be varied, and the shape of the petals should be slightly thicker than the veins. When painting banana flowers, you can first dip a clear water pen in light ochre, then dip the tip of the pen in rouge, and move the brush from the tip to the root of the petal. There should be an appropriate amount of blank space between the petals. Highlight the layers of the petals and then apply a slightly heavier blush to outline the veins. Finally, outline the flower stems and fruits with light ink
