Worked in oils and watercolours, painting coastal views of England, Wales, Normandy and the Channel Islands. He worked part time as drawing master at Greenwich and Addiscombe RMA. In 1831 he shared a Paris studio with T. S Boys. and was greatly influenced by Bonington's work. Later he took over the running of the studio where he built up an excellent reputation amongst French nobility. He returned to London in 1841 and set up another successful drawing practice.
