If it were any easier than it is, everyone could make masterly prints. Now that you have to learn something to accomplish it, you stand out from the gray (zone V) huddled masses. You can be unique, people will applaud you, award you, love you, throw flowers at you, you will meet presidents of nations, and have your own expensive backyard in Paris. This is your chance, Anthony. Master the craft, and strike for fame! Bernard
