Julie Vigneron
Committed Watercolour Artist and Illustrator
Hello,
I’m Julie Vigneron, a freelance watercolour artist and illustrator.
I create original artworks and commissioned illustrations by hand, blending meaningful themes with a traditional aesthetic. Through watercolour, I give shape to a gentle, conscious imagination — one that honours the boundaries of our living world.
Traditional Watercolour & Eco-Conscious Practice
I specialise in watercolour portraits of women and animals, painted on paper. My work combines a realistic line with bold colour, aiming to evoke positive emotion. But I don’t stop at making beautiful images.
Beyond creating, I’m committed to continually improving my practice — from choosing materials to managing waste and designing eco-conscious digital files. I want my profession to align with my values.
Commissioned Watercolour Illustrations
I work with businesses, publishers, cultural institutions and private clients…
Together, we create original, hand-painted visuals in my signature style that reflect their values. I digitise each piece to enrich a variety of formats — stationery, packaging, editorial, games — or physical spaces.
I’m especially drawn to collaborations with mission-led brands and purpose-driven companies, helping them express their vision of a better world through meaningful imagery.
Meaningful Watercolour Artworks
I believe that social and environmental struggles resonate powerfully through culture — often more so than through traditional channels. Art can awaken, challenge, and inspire the imagination. Through my watercolour portraits of women and animals, I explore our connection to the living world and the ecological questions of our time.
My work can be seen online or at exhibitions in France and across Europe.
Watercolour Workshops & Private Lessons
I support both children and adults in discovering the joy of painting — in small groups or one-to-one.
I run small-group workshops (4 to 6 participants) and private lessons in Camphin-en-Pévèle.
Open to children (from primary school age), adults, and parent–child duos.
I also offer tailored sessions at your chosen venue for private events (birthdays, hen parties…) or within organisations: businesses, associations, art schools, cultural centres…
Watercolour Reproductions - Art Prints & Postcards
Some of my watercolours are available as self-published reproductions — in poster or postcard format.
It’s a lovely way to bring art into your home or gift it to someone, even on a smaller budget.
You can find them:
- at my exhibition stands
- via my online shop
- or by contacting me directly
