Yes Judy, gum is very simple indeed, but to master it isn't at all...
:) Just like the Go game; learning it takes 1 hour at max, but
mastering it takes a lifetime.

BTW, pt/pd printing is the simplest and most straightforward process
that I know.

With students I start with cyanotype, just to to "tame" them. They're
always amazed about how pt/pd is easy (with right tools of course)
after cyanotype. Making good quality cyanotypes is much bigger
challenge compared to pt/pd..

Loris.
