A watercolor close-up of a lychee, the colors spread warmly on Xuan paper. The fruit skin is first covered with cinnabar mixed with yellow ochre, then while still wet, dots of umber are added, making the texture subtly visible in the watercolor diffusion, like the honey-like luster of southern sunlight. The fruit stem at the top is delicately outlined with cobalt blue, but at the turning point it blends into a cool green, just like the juice oozing from fresh leaves when broken. The fruit flesh is coated with white powder to create a goat's fat white color, and the edges are lightly brushed with pale rose red, allowing the brown shadow of the seed to be seen through the semi-transparent texture, as if one could see the juice trembling slightly under the thin wall. The dewdrop at the leaf tip is handled with the reserved white technique, and the surrounding grass green forms a gradient of depth due to the water traces. The entire painting, with alternating dry and wet brushstrokes, transforms the sweet and soft texture of the lychee into flowing color rhythms, as if the fragrance of the fruit would overflow from the paper's diffusion in the next moment.
