I wonder...i have been pondering the idea of these ten minute challenges today as I've been stuck in a hotel with zilch to do. Foolishly even took my travel paints out of my bag jyst last week...big mistake.
Anyway it got me thinking how would it be if we had more pop up challenges? So maybe a 3pm challenge...draw or paint something from your life as it occurs as 3pm. Or 6 or whenever
I dunno...do people like them?

Yes. These things are always good to give you a prompt, which probably explains why there are so many of them. I like the rolling challenges on Twitter - #landfebruary (landscapes, any media) is just about to run off and be replaced by (I think it's) #animalmarch - and "28 Drawings Later" is just finishing up on Facebook. Also on Facebook, 64 Million Artists provides a weekly challenge (this week's is create a mask). I'm sure there are more.

David P, I will participate in the occasional challenge but not on a regular basis and not to any specific time. I am generally involved with projects in the studio throughout the day and that requires all my attention. That was a rather good spontaneous challenge set by the 'wicked' Fiona, involving sketching in sub-zero temperatures, but I enjoyed my five minutes or so doing my awful quickie, since removed from my gallery I might add.
It is probably a good idea in principle and I'm sure that a few of you might give it a go, the idea is sound and could produce some interesting results. Sorry, but I'll have to bow out of this one.
