Toulouse – La Grave from the Bazacle Embankment in Summer is a soft pastel drawing on Pastelmat paper, created directly from life, in full sunlight.

This piece belongs to a summer series painted en plein air in the spirit of the Impressionists, seeking to capture the fleeting moment, the vibration of the water, the reflections of the sky, and the lively atmosphere of the Toulouse riverbanks.

Working on the spot, the artist seizes the shifting light, the warm tones of the Garonne, and the immediate emotion of the landscape.
Like a series in the manner of Claude Monet, this work reflects total immersion in nature and a deep connection with place. A luminous and sensitive pastel that celebrates colour, texture, and the quiet poetry of the real.
