Loquat tree-and-sparrow
Loquats are unusual among fruit trees in that their flowers appear in the autumn or early winter, and the fruits are ripe at any time from early spring to early summer. The original Chinese word for “loquat” is no longer used in most Chinese dialects, and has been replaced by pipa (枇杷), which is a reference to the fruit's visual resemblance to a miniature pipa lute. Learn how to paint this popular brush painting theme in this month’s class.
