This is a beautiful dark purple vegetable, most likely an eggplant, sitting on a cutting board. It has a bulbous end that gradually tapers off into a slender point. The vegetable has a smooth and glossy exterior, making it inviting to color. Depending on how you want it to look, you could color the vegetable in light shades of purple to give it a gentle look, or you could use deep purples and blues to really make the eggplant stand out. You could also shade it with a combination of purples and tans, creating a realistic look of the vegetable that has been peeled. You could also add a pop of color to the cutting board to make the eggplant really stand out!
