Rock Cleft on Skye, watercolour by Jane Paige-Leycester

The Land Gallery has just received a new watercolour by Jane: Rock Cleft on Skye.

Jane is a watercolour artist with a special interest in wild plants and the landscape they inhabit. She trained as a teacher with art as her main subject and continues to teach art in general and botanical illustration in particular.

She is a Founder Member of the Society of Botanical Artists and a Fellow of the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society, London. Her work has been shown with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Royal Watercolour Society open exhibitions. She has illustrated books for the RSPB and BBC Publications. She participated in the Artists for Nature project in Extremadura in Spain and also the New Forest project "Drawn to the Forest". Always interested in natural history, she prefers to work on site, very rarely finishing paintings in the studio.
