Watercolor Painting by Ed Tajchman: Female Spright

Here I present a photo of another one of the watercolor and inks I have been doing this year. It's called "Female Spright", 11 x 15" watercolor & ink. In my process it sometimes goes like this: I take a figure or idea from my sketchbook (informal), and I work out the design in pencil on watercolor paper, (semi-formal), then ink the outline (formal) and add the watercolor. Then layer the watercolor and ink in some places. Some of the works in this series of watercolors will get turned into larger paintings on canvas (super-formal?).

This painting specifically is a woman or a spirit of a feminine entity of some sort. She has not a green thumb, but a green head obviously! I am trying to combine the abstract elements I have used for a long time with figurative elements.
