SUNDAY PAINTER

Whether this anonymous aquarelliste be a professional artist or not, this snapshot of him crouched on the Japanese bridge in Monet's gardens at Giverny serves to illustrate the term "un peintre du dimanche." 

Vocabulary
un aquarelliste:  a watercolorist (USA), a watercolourist (UK)
un peintre du dimanche, un peintre amateur:  a Sunday painter, an amateur painter
