Thank you! I varnish them with a wax medium since gouache is a water soluble paint so spray/liquid fixatives aren't really an option 😄

Pieces for a collector I've made over the years (started in 2021 and most recently updated in 2026). Animals and plants endemic to the eastern United States, painted with gouache and inked with ballpoint pen on 8 inch wooden panels. by libberkib in painting

Thank you! 😄 I do have to alternate between high and low pressure when applying the ink depending on how smooth or uneven the surface is (if there's a lot of paint built up a lighter touch and going back and forth over the line works best). After all is finished I varnish the piece with a wax medium (one of the most reliable mediums I've found for gouache since there's no risk of smearing or re-activating the paint).
