DLP Oct, Inktober and Fall

 Happy Friday...

DLP Oct-3rd

Challenge -Use Deli paper

I love deli paper and so enjoyed doing this week's challenge a lot. The background is covered using painted deli paper left overs. This time I involved my 4 year old too. The fall leaves in the background were painted and created by him.  We then added gold glitter to them. Finally,  I cut and pasted them on the page. 

Next I added the collage elements.I tweaked them with more colors and glitter.

Challenge -Tissue paper 

This is a collaborative one with my 8 year old son. I pasted various  tissue papers as the background. I then added some leftover scraps for the grass. The cars are my son's drawing. They were drawn from his imagination. He even named them as Cute Cars-:) The truck, Shop Cute belongs to a shop of the same name.

Yet another drawing by my 8 year old. He did refer a 'How to draw Buildings' book. I think it did  come out so well.

 Finally,  my Fall leaves... Each year I try to paint some of these treasures.

Inktober for Tea

Day-5 Stack of Tea Cups

Hello dear Elizabeth and all my dear Tea friends. I'm posting this from our new home. We are almost settled and what remains to be unpacked is my art supplies, at least 80 percent of it. I never knew I had these many finished journals and supplies!

If there are regular art journalers here, can you tell me how you organize and keep your journals. Do you throw away your old journals? I guess I need to do it, atleast my writing journals or else all this clutter is going to overwhelm me. I do feel bad about taking so much space for my own stuff.

Anyways, back to art...
Recently, I heard about Inktober,  a project where artists create solely with pen and ink for the entire month of October. You can read more about it here
I'm predominantly a lover of bright, splashy colors. But my 8 year old son loves pencil sketching. So then of course I decided to join for this challenge. But I didn't want him to feel pressured to sketch for 31 days at a stretch. So, as his mother I felt I had to help him-:) We have decided to sketch on alternate days, whenever he is able to draw he will and the rest of the days I will challenge myself to create with just pen and paper.

Day-1 My sketch

Day-3 Ashish's 'Dinosaur Car' This one he did  completely from his own imagination. Dear son, you have no idea how proud I'm to see how you are evolving your own style.

Day-7 His sketch of a Ford

Day-9 'Fly High'

Day-11 Doodling 

 

Day-13  Ford Mustang

That is all for today. Linking my post to T stands for Tuesday

I wanted to share with you all  my favorite spot in my new place. We have a separate dining area and I decorated this space with my art and art books.

Wish you all a wonderful week
