Since your second effort at co...@ Michael Collins <br /><br />Since your second effort at commenting was no better than your first - if anything it was actually worse(!) - I've now taken the decision to ban you from commenting on this blog. Your interpretation of being civilised is a long way short of mine. <br /><br />This is being done in the hope that this might make you think long and hard before you comment in the same tenor on other people's blogs.<br /><br />It also means I don't have to waste time explaining why I'm not publishing them.

Insulting the author on her own blog is not OK. <br /><br />Can I direct you to the policy on comments that I have for this blog which you will find in the side column<br /><br />http://makingamark.blogspot.co.uk/2006/01/comments-policy.html<br /><br />This is my blog and I'm entitled to express my views on it. <br /><br />You however are NOT entitled to rubbish my views in the manner we see above. You can express a personal opinion - and disagree with me (as people have in the past) - without being rude. <br /><br />This being so, no other comments from you of this sort will be published until and unless you have learned how to express yourself in writing as a civilised adult.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-89659293210885648692013-04-12T10:56:02.157+00:002013-04-12T10:56:02.157+00:00The writer of the article seems to be preoccupied ...The writer of the article seems to be preoccupied with 'Effects' and virtuoso techniques. This being something that clouds many a leisure painter guru's manifesto. A wet into wet hazy vagueness with a stroke of a hake brush, some salt and a hairdryer, all done in 10 minutes. Cezanne might as well not have existed!<br />It doesn't seem to enter the writers head that many others might be searching for something different from what she seems to think good watercolour practice is.<br />For me, to emulate Giotto or Piero Della Francesca, perhaps, but definitely not Rubens. Or Cotman, yes, but not Turner.MICHAEL COLLINShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481017405418763617noreply@blogger.com
