Description

Fireflies that, uh ... got stuck up on that big bluish-black thing.

Yeah, I wasn't very imaginative there...

This was basically a test to see how well gouache would paint over oils in preparation for a larger project I have in the works. Spoiler alert: the answer is not very well. Unless you drybrush, you just can't get proper tones with it, and in my opinion drybrushing with gouache kind of defeats the purpose. Might as well use acrylics if that's how you have to paint...

Somewhat inspired by this piece by the lovely ~alphonze191:
