A Forum for Professional Painters and Serious Students

[Chris Kolupski]

Was this the thread that had Sharon and others debating about life painting? Where did her posts go? I enjoyed reading them and returned for a re-read -something I never ever do. Anyway, her views struck me as pretty valid and I hope they can be re-posted.

Hi Chris,

You might be thinking of this thread:

Yes, that was the thread I was thinking of. Thanks for the link.

It seems to me that criticisms or critiques should be specific and constructive. This was neither. Your generalizations and negativity do not sell your expertise very well.

It would be better if you address people personally and specifically, rather than generally lambast people, websites and practices at large. It might help if you threw in a little encouragement now and then.

I don't know about you, but I still do this for fun, and I am a professional.

What shall I assume, that your negative generallities included me and my work and website? Why should I not think that? You were not specific.

Quite right.
