I Tried New Watercolors That Have A More Intense Color. The Illustration I Have Created Depicts The Quote

I tried new watercolors that have a more intense color. The Illustration I have created depicts the quote about perfumes.

"Perfumes are the feelings of flowers." ― Heinrich Heine

Interesting what I learned is that most ornamental camellias have no fragrance, with flower color from white to red...

Hey everyone!

I decided to add some interesting facts about each floral illustration or study art work that I do.

This time it was a study illustration, but others are my original works, so feel free to share or comment because I value feedback and set a goal to improve by the end of the year.

Fig is a fruit of Ficus carica, and is native to Mediterranean region, Western and Southern Asia.

It can not be well transported to the long distances as a ripe fruit but it can be used in other forms.

For e.g it can be commonly seen in dried form or in a form of a jam or rolls.

Fan facts about Figs:

Ancient Crop: Cultivated since 9400–9200 BC.

Unique Pollination: Fig wasps pollinate figs internally.

Botanical Wonder: Figs are inverted flowers, not true fruits.

Nutrient-Rich: High in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Great tit or Parus major is one of the widespread birds around the globe.

I was surprised to know that there are two subspecies that look similar in Asia: cinereus Tit or Parus cinereus in the southern Asia and Japanese Tit or Parus minor in the East of Asia.

I also noticed some "communication" and cooperation for food between them and a sparrow (Passer domesticus) which also has many subspecies. In big European cities one can find at least two that can be distinguished by the color of plumage with one having more grey belly.

There are also other species of it, although it is hard for me to distinguish them visually.
