Such an enjoyable class. I sadly lost my dad this last December and he was an avid fisherman so painting anything with a boat or water or beach makes me happy and think of him. The unique technique of using a wax candle to achieve the shimmer on the water was very neat and although not executed perfectly I think it will be useful in the future. 
I enjoyed creating the background and the techniques for the water. Thank you for the wonderful class and I completed it fairly quickly:)
