Description I've been into watercolors lately. I started them thinking they would be faster than oils, but this is not necessarily true.
Here I am playing off of some of the origins of elves as water spirits (much like the nymphs), and I love the classical "bathing nymphs" themes of Waterhouse, etc...

I always thought water colors were a nightmare to work with but I have never worked with oil.

it's a nice image, could perhaps use a going-over with pencils for some darker tones.

Thanks I agree...I sort of got tired of this one at the end and it's not my best.
