Bourg-Saint-Andéol 2 by Paul Signac

Paul Signac, usually the king of tiny colored dots, takes a relaxed detour here with a breezy watercolor sketch. Captured during his sailing adventures along the Rhône River, this scene shows a cluster of boats bobbing gently near the riverbank at Bourg-Saint-Andéol. Notice how he uses loose pencil lines and quick washes of blue and green to capture the shimmering water and summer heat, rather than his famous meticulous pointillism. It feels like a snapshot from a lazy July afternoon—signatures of his love for the sea and light are everywhere, even in this quick study.
