Those efforts were in vain so, in 1824, he relocated to Berlin, where he found employment with the stage designer and diorama painter, Karl Wilhelm Gropius. Later, he became a student of Karl Wilhelm Wach. During this time, he supported himself by singing at the Königsstädtisches Theater. By 1830, he was earning enough from his painting to devote himself to it exclusively.

In 1830, he travelled with his friend, Rudolf Jordan, to Rügen. He also travelled to Norway (1831), Holland (1834) and Normandy (1836). He wandered further afield, to England and Scotland, in 1842. Later he undertook study trips to coasts of France, Italy and Greece.
