PATON, Waller Hugh, RSA RSW 1828-1895

Biography

Painter in oil but principally watercolour of landscapes. Having been on family sketching holidays, he was the first Scottish painter to work entirely in the open air. Most of his compositions were of the hill and river scenery of Perthshire, Aberdeenshire and Arran, often at sunset. He was a prolific artist whose portrayal of the Scottish highlands in Pre-Raphaelite detail, and with a predeliction for sunset, is unsurpassed. He went to great lengths to locate places of historical and local interest as well as views having a special aesthetic appeal.
