This image is a mural of a Cherry Blossom branch. The Cherry Blossom Tree is from China, but originally from Japan. The symbolism of the Chinese Cherry Blossom resembles power while the Japanese Cherry Blossom represents the ideas of Buddhism along with suffering and tranquil.
This mural is on a rough paper. The texture is very visible from this point of view. The branch and flowers are made by water pastel. The water pastel brings out the details within the real Cherry Blossom. The dark pink border lines with the lighter inner petals with the lining. The branch has dark border line of black while it mixes in with the dark brown. As the branch starts to separate, the coloring begins to fade out.

Seems that the red type is a bit TOO big. Otherwise, this is kind of fun. Like the mixture and blend of things. Keep citing and proofreading. Thus far: A-
I really like this piece of art. Recently I've developed an interest for Chinese and Japanese art. I'm just about to sketch this Cherry Blossom Tree now. I really like how you have made the tree stand out on the rough paper! Greetings from England :)
