Dobson Fly
Mixed media: Gouache on collographic monotype
Paper: 300gsm Hahnemulle printmaking paper
First, the collograph was printed intaglio then relief printed a few times over that.
Second, when all the layers of ink were dry, I painted the dobson fly with gouache on top. Gouache is so good for painting over oil based inks. Surprising, no?

Love it! Gouache is great over oil inks. Was very scared to try it – expected it to flake off, but no, brilliant.
