Thank you for this class, Duplo! 

I got a lot out of it. I feel much more familiar and more confident with Krita now, and I've definitely fallen in love with the wet brushes. I'm planning on using them a lot more going forward. 

The main part of the piece that I struggled with was *for sure* the water and reflections. I don't think I've clicked with the blender knife yet, so I need to play with it a bit more to figure it out. I was happy with the texture I got on the tree, but the water definitely took a lot of painting over and re-blending before I was okay with it. 

I appreciated the methodical way you went through the tools, and the step by step process of making the painting was more helpful than I thought it was going to be. Usually following tutorials exactly isn't very interesting to me, but I enjoyed myself throughout the bulk of the painting (except the dang water! XD) 

I also liked that you had a few theory lessons to round out the class, rather than just ending it at the tutorial. 

Thanks again! I'm planning on taking your trees class next, and giving myself themed "focus weeks" to help with my self study.
