James was the son of ship carpenter William Carmichael and was born in Ouseburn, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, on June 9, 1800.
At an early age he went off to sea, and spent three years sailing between ports in Spain and Portugal; after which he was apprenticed to a shipbuilding firm, and when his apprenticeship ended devoted his spare time creating art.
Since his main interest was in art, he left the shipbuilding business and set himself up as a drawing master and miniatures painter; with his first historical painting to gain public attention being “Fight Between the Shannon and Chesapeake”, followed by “Bombardment of Algiers for Trinity House, Newcastle”.
He also painted “The Heroic Exploits of Admiral Lord Collingwood in HMS “Excellent” at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent” in collaboration with George Balmer (1806 – 1846).
He also received a commission for his piece “View of Newcastle”; and also worked with architect John Dobson, during the redevelopment of the centre of Newcastle.
James also collaborated with John Blackmore to produce the illustrated book “Views on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway” a-steach 1836; and published two books “Ealain peantadh mara ann an dathan uisge” a-steach 1859, agus “Ealain peantadh mara ann an dathan ola” a-steach 1864.
