Today we look at more ways to alter and distress glossy pages from magazines and coffee table books with overpainting so that they become something else that you can use in your journal pages, collage, or other mixed media work. Overpainting is just that, painting or colouring over the original image once the gloss has been sanded off.

I am showing overpainting with watercolour, gouache, gesso and soft pastel, and a combination of these.

If you have any questions, feedbacks, or ideas of your own, please add them to the comments below and we can compare notes.

I have an online course THE BOOK OF YOU: How to Make and Keep an Illustrated Journal. You can find it here ($32):
