From the earliest British colonization of Australia, draughtsmen and watercolourists were eager to depict their new home. A demand for paintings in the more permanent and prestigious medium of oil was met by many of these first artists, even though most were not trained in this medium. In the first 40 years, artists often depended on personal patrons and friends in Britain for the supply of painting materials. The problems of shortages led to some improvisation and substitution of materials. By the 1830s the number of professionally trained British artists who had emigrated to Australia had increased, and the supply of artists' materials had also become more reliable. This early period, greatly dependent on irregular supplies from England, was followed by rapid commercial development of the colonies and faster shipping which ensured that new materials and techniques from England quickly appeared in the Australian colonies.
