[cannot post code in comments...]

To include the image in DocumentText, you can encode it into Base64

For example :

            var img = System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.GetImage();
            if (img != null)
            {
                string sTempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
                sTempPath = String.Concat(sTempPath, "ClipTemp.jpg");
                img.Save(sTempPath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);            

                string sStringBase64 = null;
                using (var fs = new System.IO.FileStream(sTempPath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read))
                {
                    var sBuffer = new byte[fs.Length];
                    fs.Read(sBuffer, 0, (int)fs.Length);
                    sStringBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(sBuffer);
                }
                var sDocumentText = String.Format(@"<html>
                                            <body>
                                                <img src=""data:image/jpg;base64,{0}""/>
                                            </body>
                                        </html>", sStringBase64);
                webBrowser1.DocumentText = sDocumentText;
            }

If you want to copy a screenshot into WebBrowser, you can do (with webBrowser1 for the test) :

string sTempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
sTempPath = String.Concat(sTempPath, "ClipTemp.jpg");
var img = System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.GetImage();
if (img != null)
{
    img.Save(sTempPath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    webBrowser1.Navigate(sTempPath);
}

        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
        if (pic != null)
        {
            pic.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        }
        string imgstr = Convert.ToBase64String(stream.GetBuffer());
        var srctxt = String.Format(@"data:image/jpg;base64,{0}", imgstr);
        if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
        {
            HtmlElement elem = webBrowser1.Document.CreateElement("img");
            elem.SetAttribute("src", srctxt);

            webBrowser1.Document.Body.AppendChild(elem);
        }
