The exercise was to"take a line for a walk" (which is from a quote by Paul Klee re drawing).
Now that I have access to the Slate, and I know it records my lines, I would be able to see how my eye moved and see what happened. The Slate records every movement of the pen whilst it is in contact with the paper - and because I drew this as a single line drawing, it would show the correlation between my eye movement and the corresponding pen movement. You can see what I noticed first and what drew my eye next.
I drew this in offline mode and really wanted to add to it:

I changed the background paper using the Slate as I felt it added warmth).
Note: there is no 'brown' colour in the Slate palette, nor any 'fill' but I guess I can import into Gimp for more manipulation.
Watching how my eye moved...(mp4 lasting 5secs) - this will be interesting generally to watch how I move/see.
I liked my line drawing and wanted to add a splash of colour to it using watercolours (quickly)
You can see how that panned out below
