<p>[QUOTE=&quot;architrave, post: 9851239, member: 3723&quot;]Interestingly Ruskin had some pupils whom he encouraged to make very close copies of Turner&#039;s watercolours.&nbsp; He wrote of <i>Rochester On The Medway</i></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Ugly in subject, but one of his consummate drawings, and the</p><p>best example for students of all the three. If, however,</p><p>they can at all succeed in copying a piece, either of the</p><p>Dover, Shields, or this, they will have reached some under¬</p><p>standing of Turner; whereas they may copy many of the</p><p>oil pictures without clearly seeing in what his greatness</p><p>consisted.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
