About

As a self-taught artist, Scott Patton, has one main objective with his art. It is to create inspiring and beautiful paintings that bring value to people and their spaces. Whether the genre is nautical, western, nature or figurative, Patton’s work tells wonderful stories that evoke emotions.

From an early age of around seven the passion and gifting began to emerge, even if it was only a teacher’s raised eyebrow at a funny sketch he did. Scott’s high school art teacher noticed that he put more effort into his projects than most. For many years after high school, however, his desire for artistic expression was nearly suffocated with competing ambitions and the calling was nothing more than a faint whisper.

Above is Scott’s beloved high school art teacher, Marvin Embree, at Heritage Hall School in Oklahoma City.

In 2023, Scott realized that if he was ever going to fulfill what he believed his assignment was, he’d better get serious! So with a mustard seed of faith and a burning desire to see his gift finally emerge, he began to paint. Much rust and many barnacles had to be broken off, but after a few weeks he found his stride! And with each painting Scott saw improvements in his skills.

If you will take some time to watch some of the videos of him painting, perhaps you will glean some helpful tips and techniques that will help you in your painting journey.
