What could be negative about wanting the world to have more beautiful artwork?!

The episode itself isn't as gray, Rita is clearly in the wrong. Is it because she wants Mashiro to go back to painting, and Mashiro currently doesn't feel like it? No. Different play on events could have yielded a "positive" impression. The wrong is she wants her to go to England, and now; as if either have any relation to her going back to painting.

My impression is that Rita doesn't trust that Mashiro will go back to painting unless Mashiro is under Rita's care and supervision again.
That being said, I get why this equating "going back to England" with "going back to painting" would seem odd to people. You can get great artwork out of Tokyo just as assuredly as you can get great artwork out of London.
However, I don't think that's the issue for Rita. It's that Rita wants to have Mashiro under her care, and out of her current environment where her manga hobby is strongly encouraged by fans of "sister" entertainment forms (such as anime).

Very well-said, and I completely agree. Which is why I didn't bother replying to the first part of Felix's post.
