a peek inside my art journal: altered magazine pages

One of the best things about creativity is that you can totally turn your brain off during the process! One of my favorite ways to zen out and get creative is altering magazine pages. I hunt for unique portraits and glue them to the pages of my art journal. Then I paint out large areas of the image and use my favorites pens to fill all that space with pattern. The result are super dynamic and wild portraits!

These are so cool! What do you use to paint out part of the pages...black gesso? And then what kind of white pen do you use to add the decoration? (Yep...I'm planning to copy whatever you do!)
Thank you!
