Lesson 3 of my online sketch and watercolor class is an exercise in continuous line drawing. Once we start, we don’t pick up our pen until we’ve finished the drawing. There’s no preliminary drawing in pencil, either. I did practice once before drawing on the watercolor paper.

I started out with one object, just to see how it went.

Then I used all three peppers. Fortunately, the peppers were on sale at the grocery store.

Once I started painting, I saw I missed some definition, especially on the red pepper.

The bonus lesson was to use our non-dominate hand to draw. Now there’s an adventure! It’s a pin cushion in the shape of an easy chair. I didn’t want to paint it black, so I decided to use purple instead.
