Scott’s distinctive and award-winning pencil studies began in his first college art class. When given the assignment of studying and experimenting with the style and technique of a favorite master, he chose the pencil and chalk drawings of Michelangelo. The school purchased one of his drawings and hosted his first one-man show.
He strives for simplicity of composition in both his pencil drawings and his pastel landscapes where he uses a limited color palette along with light and tonal value to create mood and reflection.
