About the Artist: Robert Buchan Nisbet RSA RSW (1857-1942)
was born in Edinburgh, the son of a house
painter, he worked at first in a shipping
office before turning to art around 1880.
he joined his older brother, also a well
listed artist, Pollok Sinclair Nisbet, in
Venice c1881 before enrolling at the RSA
schools 1882-1885. He later studied in Paris
under Bouguereau. For a short period he painted
in oil, but soon gave this up to paint solely
in watercolour, in which he was influenced
by the broad styles of de Wint and Cox. He
was elected to the Royal Scottish Society
of painters in watercolour in 1887 and became
a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy
in 1902. In The Dictionary of Scottish Painters Halsby and Harris submit that his best works
are his smaller landscapes in which he achieved
rich, sonorous tones and great sense of light.
Halsby likens Buchan Nisbet's work to that
of the Borders artist Tom Scott who was also
a fantastic watercolourist.
