The point of interest here is the big patch of heavily 'weathered' ink. Tried out various methods for making white marks and tone over ink, including razor blade, sandpaper, and 2 different brands of gouache. The W&N Designers Gouache is the more grayish stuff - not nearly as opaque and bright white as the Turner Acryl gouache. It's basically impossible to make good lines with the gouache - toward the bottom you can see three strokes made with the edge of a flat brush - tried it with a round and I couldn't even make a mark at all, the sable was too weak to push the thick stuff around. The three strokes are thick and gloppy, not exactly precisely drawn lines. Across from them is a little area where I tried it again but kept scrubbing around drybrush style - it actually looks really good for some kind of haze effect.
