This equipped him to work as draughtsman to the military survey of the Scottish highlands set up in the wake of the 1745 Jacobite uprising. Over a five year period Sandby made many landscape watercolours in Scotland, before moving to London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe continued to paint landscapes in gouache and watercolour, while also demonstrating a skill for satire in the set of etchings he made satirising William Hogarth (1753–4). Sandby also worked as a drawing master, instructing several of his patrons and holding the post of chief drawing master at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich for many years. In this way, he influenced subsequent developments of the British watercolour school through his teaching as well as through exhibiting his works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandby helped to further popularise watercolour through the printing technique of aquatint, which he named and promoted. Aquatint involves creating areas of tonal shading rather than line (as in an etching or engraving), and so is particularly effective for reproducing watercolours. Making over a hundred prints in the medium, Sandby also continued to make engravings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandby exhibited at the Society of Artists until 1768, when he defected to become a Founder Member of the new Royal Academy. He showed almost annually at the institution from its first exhibition in 1769 until his death in 1809. In his difficult final years Sandby was granted an annual pension by the Academy to support him and his family.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"an-english-balloon-by-paul-sandby-1784-final","title":"An English balloon by Paul Sandby, 1784","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Best Art For You\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThank you for choosing us to brighten your walls.
