Pineapple Tropical Colouring

A big pineapple shows a spiky leaf crown and a repeating diamond pattern. A smaller flowering pineapple head helps show another stage of the plant. Try golden yellow and orange on the ripe fruit, several greens on its long leaves, and touches of purple or pink on the tiny flowers of the younger head. Colour the rind a few diamonds at a time, using a darker shade along one side of each shape. Follow the leaves from base to tip and keep a little white space between their pointed ends. Use gentle pressure first, then add stronger colour only where you want it. Your own imaginative colour choices are welcome too!
