Jane Duke is a watercolour artist and
portrait painter who is known for her fresh, vibrant paintings and her
use of pure, clear colour. Born in Sussex, her home has been in the
historic city of York in the north of England since 1997.
Jane's work is
characterised by its revelation of the half hidden colours around us.
This encourages the viewer to see the familiar with new eyes and to
rediscover enjoyment of the surrounding world.
Her work has been bought and commissioned by private
and corporate clients both in the UK and abroad. Jane has been
featured in several national publications including Artists and
Illustrators which in 2009 described her as a 'master of watercolour'.
Largely
self-taught, Jane’s distinctive style has been developed through a
life of painting and continual study, research and practice.

Jane is a popular tutor whose weekend
workshops are often oversubscribed. Her sympathetic and encouraging
approach gives great confidence to both beginners and improvers. She
is a firm believer in breaking through the mystique and jargon that
surrounds watercolour and sharing the knowledge gained through experience.
As a
professional associate of the SAA (Society for All Artists) Jane
carries the society's endorsement as a recommended tutor and demonstrator.
