Rainbow Art Journal – Moss Sprite

For the first page in the fully green section of my Rainbow Art Journal (as opposed to the transition page) I wanted to work entirely in green (excepting a little black ink).  I, therefore, decided to draw one of my sprite figures.  I have a fondness for moss so decided my illustration would depict a moss sprite.  I also used it as an experiment in layering my green watercolour paints.  For the body I used a wet-in-wet technique and as such achieved lots of blossoms and pigment blooms where the different greens puddled and met each other.  For the hair, I allowed a layer to completely dry before I added the next layer of paint.
