James Douglas was born in Dundee on 28th April 1858. He claimed to be a self taught artist, with his first exhibition, at the age of 16, in Dundee in 1874. He exhibited three watercolours of at the inaugural Dundee Fine Arts Exhibition of 1877, and a watercolour, an oil, and a pen & ink at the Dundee Fine Art Exhibition of 1879. James Douglas later maintained studios in Edinburgh for many years, first renting the large studio recently vacated by Noel Paton around 1880. He spent a year studying in Paris, 1883-4, and then returned to Edinburgh. He moved to the English Lake District following his marriage in 1891, being based at the Ghyll, Applethwaite and Keswick. He then moved to Bavaria in 1895, before returning to Edinburgh in 1898. He was elected Member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours (RSW) in 1900. He signed his subsequent paintings 'J Douglas RSW' rather than dating them. A lot of his work was used for postcards of the time, mainly whilst painting from his Edinburgh studio. By 1907 he was suffering from mental illness and was struck off for non-payment of his subscription. He died on July 18, 1911.
