did anyone else watch Dickensons real deal today when a lady was told the painting of venice was a chinese massed produced copy and was only worth twenty pounds offered by him .she took it to auction and she had some one from the internet buy it for nearly three hundred pounds who had never
viewed it ,,,,,I myself would have thought it the duty of the auctioneer to have warned the buyer of its provinance wouldn,t you .
dont people act silly when buying on the interent ,I have seen some silly prices asked and sold ,on one well know auction site .when the item was a lot cheaper in shops

Oh dear.... Hmmm... Quite honestly, it sounds to me as if this has gone beyond repair, but if you want another crack at it you might try obliterating the ink with successive layers of acrylic - sooner or later, you should succeed but then you wanted the ink for a specific effect and you'll lose that.
Next time, I'd strongly suggest an acrylic ink: there are a good many of them, from FW inks by Daler Rowner to the acrylic inks sold by Chromacolour UK. I've never heard of Brusho - and I'm not at all sure I want to, although doubtless it's fine for its intended purpose: it's just that its intended purpose obviously wasn't to be painted over in acrylic.... You live and learn, if that's the slightest consolation!

Coo! Looks good - very good...
What advice would you have for the questioner, given your knowledge of the product?
From what you say, overpainting with acrylic doesn't seem to be a problem - maybe the subsequent acrylic layers were too thin, or watery?
I'll certainly have a look at that website.
