Sketch Fest is today!

I reset my appointment to try on a new CPAP mask for earlier in the day so I could attend #scifichat for the first time in months. They were discussing post-cyberpunk fiction, which was fun.

Then I started to try to get set up to do some painting, and got dragooned into doing yardwork. True, it needed to be done, and also true, it's supposed to rain for the next two days. So I went with it.

Finally, now I'm sitting down to start.  Starting is generally a blank page, so:

And then, since I'm painting with acrylics, I either sketch in a pale paint color, or lay down a background.  Sometimes the background is quite elaborate, but today I'm supposed to be finished (or at least ready to move on) in an hour, so I'm going for a plain background.  It's a start.

So, a whole bunch of other artists are also participating in the sketch fest.  You're welcome to stop by and participate, either by leaving prompts or sketching.  Or both, of course. 

It's over here.

And now you can see the same notebook page, with the first layer of color on it. 

More later!

Oh, I missed the sketchfest I suspect since it's 10:30pm my time. Hopefully you found something inspirational to listen to while you sketched ;)

Sounds like you had a full-on day today, hope you got a chance to take a breath!
