after graduating from mit with a degree in mechanical engineering in 1886, woodbury had great success painting along the new england coast and in the towns and beaches of nova scotia. he studied at the académie julian in paris from january to june 1891, followed by a stint in holland, where he learned the techniques of modern dutch painters. woodbury's work was influenced by his contemporaries, including john singer sargent, with whom he maintained a close friendship. he also had a pleasant acquaintance with j. alden weir and childe hassam. woodbury was president of the boston watercolor society and became an associate of the national academy of design in 1906, with full membership in 1907.notable works and style
woodbury's more than fifty years of professional life were marked by a strong and consistent vision. he became a master of compositions of the coast and sea, as seen in his on-the-spot sketches and etchings, which produce a sense of motion through quick, sure-handed strokes. his maxim, "paint in verbs, not nouns," reflects his emphasis on movement and understanding. some notable works by woodbury include:- mid-ocean, which earned him the second prize at the tennessee centennial exposition in 1897.
- his watercolor studies of beaches and towns, backed by dramatic mountains and clouds, created during his later years spent in the caribbean.
