Hi Karla! I hope I did not offend or confused you in any way.
My comments about the cracks and distressing are purely personal to fresco as a form of art. For the moment any fresco work is utmost important. My suggestion was a try to channel your exploration into "natural aging" - manipulating of water in the plaster to achieve cracks. This way you will be able to grow as a frescoist and sutisfy the market that you have. Please continue to post your art at the Cafe al Fresco and not only frescoes - explore other gallery sections.

PS. Remember, people like you, that are straggling through the luck of possibilities to learn and practice fresco in the contemporary art world are doing an invaluable service to the world community.
