Portrait of a man with a beard. Oil painting in sepia tones. Painted very quickly.
Oil painting I made from life at the weekend, using sepia tones. The sitter, Andrew, is an artist himself. Very fast painting, more of a sketch than a sustained painting. A great experience in making quick decisions.

Like you I am seizing the day, the week, the month. Last month I posted one drawing for every month in January. I have plans for February too!
Which was your favourite of my drawings from 31 days of drawings in January?
The full set is on IG Julia Renault Artist
I’ve numbered them, so you can just comment with the numbers. Or you can scroll back to the day and comment below the drawing.
Whatever is easiest for you.
Drawing of a female model leaning against something. She is wearing glasses.
Caught the model in a reflective mood.
Appropriate for today.
Day 27 of drawing humans in January.
Drawings of an angel and a crouching figure.
When I drew this I was thinking: how little can I draw and still have it read as humanoid?
Now, I am thinking: what is the most abstract figurative artwork that I can choose?
Models in lycra.
I thought the top one angelic anyway!
Day 23 of drawings of humanoid and angel in January!
Drawing of a seated man.
Catching the atmosphere in a drawing of mine.
Foggy day here in Jersey.
Two Trees In The Mist is one of my favourite paintings. On my site and available. Do you spot the daffodil?
That’s what it's like here, at this time of year.

A painting I remember from my childhood. (It was a print on a relative’s guest bedroom wall.) Millais lived in Jersey, as a small child, and there is a road here named after him. #jerseyci #localartist
Drawing of man sitting in a chair.
Day 15 of drawing humans in January. Nearly halfway through the month.
I was wondering if I should make a video or reel about how I started, and how it helps me as an artist?
Comment below to indicate interest or not.
I am very much in the same situation. Where are the people of #jerseyci on here?
I enjoyed it and learnt some stuff about Pharrell. I think a lot of people thought it was a kids’ film, and missed out.
Drawing of a woman reclining, as part of a message about getting a mammogram.
Mammogram today.
I thought a drawing of mine which includes breasts should be part of a health message to get scanned, if you are called.
Day 13 drawings of humans in January. This is one of many life drawings made in a formal life drawing session with a professional model.
One of my portrait painting heroes. He painted other subjects besides portraits, as do I. He painted in watercolours and oil paints, as do I. Like him, I do not wish to be pigeonholed.
Drawing made with my unaccustomed hand as part of an art challenge.
Taking a chance while new on here.
Some might glance at this post, and decide, “she’s not any good at art.” That would be their choice.They could have checked my website juliarenault.com first!
A RA challenge I accepted: draw with my unaccustomed hand.
A beautiful photo. There is something special about a person who promised never to lie in office.
Ink drawing of seated man.
I loved drawing his casual but stylish clothes. I kept it minimal.
Day 9 of drawings of humans in January.
Enjoyable Elvis cover.
I’m interested in this issue.
I am getting annoyed that Bluesky is not recognising this academic discipline. There are strict rules of etiquette in life drawing. @royalacademy.bsky.social @tate.bsky.social @nationalgalleryldn.bsky.social
Pencil drawing of a human standing, drawn by a human artist.
I create drawings where I stand before the model and draw with a pencil, using eye, hand and brain - nothing else. When I search drawing on here, I am not finding many without the aid the of machines.This was a ten minute drawing.
7 January 1792: #OTD Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women was published.
This text was hugely influential and is regarded as one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.
I love the yellow. I’ve just posted a yellow painting. But not abstract.
Daffodils in fields, on the island of Jersey, with bare winter trees and sunrise. Oil painting on canvas. juliarenault.com
The little pops of yellow, as daffodils bloom across Jersey are always a welcome sight for me. Right now there are some flowering in Jersey, as we live in a microclimate.
This oil painting is on my website in the Coastal and Views category of paintings for sale.
I am using social media to connect with people who are interested in art, music and culture. Very new to Bluesky. I am an artist. Please feel free to connect if this is your interest. You are right @mcuban.bsky.social and something has to change.
Maureen Cleave describing the Rolling Stones to Evening Standard readers in 1964. I think this is my favourite passage in all music writing. It's packed with detail and tension, but nothing is unnecessary.

The view from my studio just now. This is unfiltered. We really do get skies this blue in Jersey, even in the winter! #jerseychannelislands #artstudio #localartist
Thank you Mario! That has worked. I agree, it’s not obvious for people who are used to other platforms!
