He See also:developed an See also:early See also:passion for See also:drawing, which led to his being apprenticed in 1854 for seven years to Messrs See also:Keith & Gibb, lithographers in Aberdeen. In 1861 Reid took lessons from an itinerantportrait-painter, See also:- WILLIAM

James See also:Giles, R.S.A., and afterwards entered as a student in the school of the See also:Board of Trustees in See also:Edinburgh. He returned to Aberdeen to paint landscapes and portraits for any trifling sum which his See also:work could command. His first portrait to attract See also:attention, from its See also:fine quality, was that of George See also:Macdonald, the poet and novelist, now the See also:property of the university of Aberdeen. His early landscapes were conscientiously painted in the open See also:air and on the spot. But Reid soon came to see that such work was inherently false, painted as the picture was See also:day after day under varying conditions of See also:light and shade. Accordingly, in 1865 he proceeded to See also:Utrecht to study under A. Mollinger, whose work he ad-mired, from its unity and simplicity. This See also:change in his method of viewing Nature was looked on as revolutionary by the Royal Scottish See also:Academy, and for some years his work found little favour in that See also:quarter; but other artists gradually adopted the See also:system of See also:tone-studies, which ultimately prevailed. Reid went to See also:Paris in 1868 to study under the figure painter Yvon; and he worked in 1872 with Josef Israels at the See also:Hague. From this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time forward Reid's success was continuous and marked. He showed his versatility in landscape, as in his " Whins in See also:Bloom," which combined See also:great breadth with fine detail; in See also:flower-pieces, such as his " See also:Roses," which were brilliant in rapid suggestiveness and force; but most of all in his portraits, which are marked by great individuality, and by fine insight into See also:character.

white, his admirable illustrations in brushwork of Edinburgh and its neighbourhood, and also his See also:pen-drawings, about which it has been declared that " his work contains all the subtleties and refinements of a most delicate See also:etching," must also be noted. Elected See also:Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 187o, Reid attained full membership in 1877, and took up his See also:residence in Edinburgh in 1882. In 1891 he was elected See also:President—a See also:post which he held until 1902—receiving also the See also:honour of See also:knighthood, and he was awarded a See also:gold See also:medal at the Paris See also:Exhibition of 1900.
