Not really, no. You could try a spirit based pen, but sooner or later it would be likely to break through the paint beneath it and send spider-lines outwards. A water-based ink wouldn't adhere - at least, not for long. Can you not paint with oil-diluted paint over the top to achieve the same effect?
