Fun Facts About Watermelons!
A Fruit and a Vegetable?
It might sound like a riddle, but the watermelon is actually related to cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash. This makes it technically both a fruit (because it grows from a seed) and a vegetable (because it is harvested from the field like other gourds). This dual nature makes it a fascinating subject for any young botanist to color!
The Hydration Hero
The name isn’t just for show – watermelons are made up of about 92% water! This is why they are so incredibly refreshing on a hot day. Early explorers even used watermelons as canteens to carry water on long voyages. When coloring these pages, imagine that juicy texture that has quenched thirsts for centuries.
Square Shapes in Japan
While most people think of watermelons as round or oval, farmers in Japan have figured out how to grow them in the shape of cubes! By placing the young fruit inside glass boxes as they grow, the watermelon takes on the shape of the container. This allows them to stack easily in refrigerators. Perhaps the artist would like to draw a square watermelon next to the round ones?
Coloring Tips for Your Watermelon Masterpiece
- Mastering the Rind Gradient: To make the watermelon look realistic, do not just use one shade of green. The rind often has stripes that vary from pale lime to deep emerald. Try using a zig-zag motion with a dark green pencil for the stripes, and then fill in the gaps with a lighter green to create a natural, organic texture.
- The Perfect Pink Fade: The flesh of a watermelon isn’t usually a solid red block. It tends to be deepest red in the center and fades to a light pink or even white right next to the green rind. An artist can achieve this by pressing harder with their red crayon in the middle of the slice and easing the pressure as they get closer to the edge.
- Shiny Seeds: To make the black seeds pop and look 3D, leave a tiny white speck uncolored in the center or corner of each seed. This “highlight” mimics the way light reflects off the shiny, wet surface of the seed, adding a professional touch to the artwork.
