His father was a sea captain and the young Sheppard took many voyages with his father to make artistic studies.

In 1879, he spent four months sketching Mediterranean port cities including Gibraltar, Genoa, Naples and Messina in Sicily. Between 1888 and 1893, he also studied painting in Venice and Paris.
