Watercolour On Paper

I finished my undergrad in the beginning of June and am starting with masters in September, so I am using the summer to travel a bit :) In the next posts I will share some impressions from my drawing diary, this is the first one from a trip to southern France (Frontignan). Hope you´re all having a great summer!

“Denk nicht daran, wieviel zu tun ist, welche Schwierigkeiten zu bewältigen sind oder welches Ziel erreicht werden soll, sondern widme dich gewissenhaft der kleinen Aufgabe die gerade ansteht, und lass das für heute genügen.” (Sir William Osler

The ‘upside-down’ jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) thrives in near-shore marine habitats. It is commonly found on seagrass beds or in mangrove forests, resting its exumbrella against the sediment - exposing its oral arms to the sunlight. Why this fellow is sunbathing all the time? Its oral arms carry symbiotic zooxanthellae, dinoflagellates (marine algae) of the genus Symbiodinium that assimilate carbon and nitrogen for this gelatinous friend.
