 handprint : the topographical tradition
Sandby is often called "the father of the English watercolor" because he made so many technical advances, taught so many talented students, and created so many splendid paintings that capture the uniquely English love of nature and work.
These paintings display Sandby's enjoyment of dynamic human figures and his remarkable talent for suggesting the aural qualities of a place — the clatter of horses, the clang of a flsmith's hammer, the squeak of a waterpump, the echoing of steps on a stairway.
Yet Sandby's efforts to bring emotional warmth and human interest to watercolor drawing, and his boundless energy as a technical innovator, Academy founder and generously supportive colleague to fellow artists, were the important founding acts by which English painters made watercolors into a geniunely national art form.

Paul Sandby: The Iron Forge between Dolgelli and Barmouth in Merioneth Shire (36.8.30)
Sandby was already an experienced watercolorist and etcher when he began tinkering with Jean-Baptiste Le Prince's recipe for applying tonal areas to etchings with resin powder.
But, instead of distributing the powder dry, he dissolved it in "rectified spirits of wine" so that it could be brushed on an etching plate like an ink wash, a process for which he coined the term aquatint.
