James Paterson PRSW RSA RWS, was a Scottish landscape and portrait painter associated with The Glasgow Boys movement of artists. He is best known for his landscape paintings of Dumfriesshire, where he lived, at Moniaive from 1885 to 1905.

His father was a good watercolourist as well as one of the earliest amateur photographers in Scotland and most of his family developed artistic interests. James' brother William, later became the owner of a gallery in Bond Street, London and his youngest brother Alexander, became an architect.

James studied at the Glasgow School of Art under Robert Greenlees and subsequently in Paris under Louis Jacquesson de La Chevreuse and Jean-Paul Laurens.

Paterson spent over 22 years in the area painting the Nithsdale and Ayrshire hills, the Solway Firth and the local river and burns, capturing the elusive colours and light inherent in the Scottish countryside. During this period he formed friendships with a group of artists - Sir James Guthrie, E. A. Walton, W. Y. McGregor, E. A. Hornel and others - who came to be known collectively as 'The Glasgow Boys'.

Following his wife's death in 1910, he took on more public responsibilities. He was elected to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW), became an associate member of the Royal Scottish Academy (ARSA), and was awarded full membership of the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA). He became President of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours and served as Librarian of the Royal Scottish Academy between, and as Secretary.
