Sketches from the first Senate impeachment Q&A session

Washington(CNN) Wednesday was the first full day of the impeachment trial where senators could ask questions of the House managers and President Donald Trump's lawyers.

The protocol was simple: a senator was recognized and sends a question up to Chief Justice John Roberts, who asks it. But as with the rest of the trial, the US Senate limits what TV images the public sees. Images of senators, such as Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, seeking to ask their question and their reactions to the answers are not on camera.

Sketch artist Bill Hennessy has been attending the trial. Here's what he saw Wednesday:
