“Just a Pepper” – Sydney Harper
4 x 5 inches, watercolor
I was looking for something quick to paint. Then I remembered that I had bought some peppers at the farmers markets the other day. It was perfect for a quick little watercolor. The paler yellow and green has a freshness about it that I like.
I have this big pack of small sample watercolor papers that I got from Daniel Smith years ago. Since the pack resurfaced recently, I’ll grab one of the sheets when I want to do a little watercolor sketch or practice painting. This time I grabbed a piece of hot press watercolor paper. For some reason, I’ve never tried hot press paper before. I think I like the hot press better. I’m not sure why I never tried it before. I may grab a few sheets of hot press the next time I buy paper.

You've achieved that smooth shiny skin of the pepper. The yellowish greens are perfect too. Hot press works well for this piece.
