I'm doing this challenge; my first one. I have the woodgrain pattern going OK except keeping consistent spacing between the lines and since Angela stresses the importance of that, I will work more on that. I tried for a couple days and quickly told myself that I need all the help I can get, so I purchased the panel and I love it. It may be my imagination, but I think it's easier to work on the panel. Today is Saturday and I want to get the leaves a good practice (maybe even master!) before week 3 comes out. I should probably get going on it instead of 'playing' on the computer.
