Early start this morning on les Allées Paul Riquet for Le Forum des Createurs, a bit of a marine theme going on.
If you are in Béziers I'm near Le Plateau des Poetes, the organisers like that I paint so give me a view 🌞🫣🤗🖌🎨 #Autignacartiste #originalartforsale #art #societedesbeauxartsbeziers
VENDU❤️ these two Autignac watercolours have left the atelier for their new home today, one very happy artiste can afford the bills this month 🤗🖌️🎨 #autignacartiste #aquarelle #workshopsinfrance #originalartforsale
Planning a large oil painting, Place du Pouffre (Octopus Square) #Sete.
Sketching from photos, using the sketch as ref. for painting removes temptation to copy, gives a looser interpretation of original inspiration, using tonal values rather than seen colours #autignacartiste #workshopsinfrance
We’re off to @escaleasete2026 tomorrow, by train on 1€ tickets🤗. Me in Sete in 2010 when I rented a large apartment in Montpellier for a group painting holiday.
A pastel painting from 2018, at the l’Escale that year.
