Don't just use black out of tube, mix it up! It's called chromatic black and it has so much more life to it. #art #painting #mixingpaint #painting

Jupiter, Proof that nature is the ultimate artist.. This image from NASA's Juno mission approximates Jupiter's true colors as seen in visible light—shades of brown, white, and red from clouds of ammonia and other compounds. However, it's processed to enhance contrast and details for clarity.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization. He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship. What a betrayal of American values!

"Old Paris Street"- a painting I painted this spring. Transparent watercolors on Arches cold pressed cotton paper, bright white, 300g/m, 28x38cm. #watercolor #oldstreet #cityscape #Paris #painting #art #artwork #acuarela #France

This watercolor painting captures a sunlit street scene in Paris, with warm light and long shadows creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
On the left, a light-colored building with blue louvered shutters on its windows is partially visible. Planters with red flowers hang from the window sills.
The central focus is a taller, cream-colored building that turns a corner into another street on the right. This building features multiple windows, some with small flower boxes, and decorative ironwork hanging above a shop entrance. Green foliage, possibly potted plants or climbing vines, adorns the lower part of the building, adding a touch of natural vibrancy. Red and blue signs are visible on the facade of the shop.
The street itself is cobblestoned or paved, and a distinct shadow is cast from the building on the left, stretching across the foreground and midground. Three figures are walking away from the viewer on the right side of the street, partially obscured by the shadows and a bushy green plant in the bottom right corner. The figure closest to the viewer, on the left, is wearing a dark jacket and carrying something in their left hand. The other two figures are walking together further down the street, one in a lighter top and the other in a red jacket.
The overall impression is one of a peaceful, charming street bathed in the soft glow of either morning or late afternoon sun.

"An Afternoon on Gran Via"- streetscape from Madrid, Spain. I used Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches cotton paper, 300g, cold pressed. 28x38cm. My painting process can be found on my YouTube channel. #watercolor #cityscape #streetscape #urbanlandscape #watercolorpainting #art #artwork #sunset

This is a watercolor painting of a bustling city street, likely in Europe, with elegant old buildings lining both sides. The focus is on a tall, rounded corner building with ornate details, balconies, and a domed tower that rises above the scene. The street below is alive with people walking on the sidewalks and cars driving along the road. The atmosphere feels dynamic and urban. In the distance, more historic architecture fades into the hazy background, giving a sense of depth. Above, the sky is dramatic, with large, moody clouds lit by soft sunlight, adding contrast and emotion to the city scene.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine. Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

"Spring scent"- also one of my most recent transparent watercolors on Arches cotton paper, 38x56cm. #watercolour #watercolor #painting #acuarela #art #artwork #wisteria #landscape #architecture

This watercolor painting captures a lush, romantic scene of a villa partially hidden behind a vibrant wall of blooming purple wisteria flowers and cascading greenery. The perspective looks slightly upward, drawing the viewer’s gaze from the dense, textured garden at the bottom up toward the elegant architectural details of the building above.

The villa features creamy white walls, arched windows, and terracotta-tiled roofs. Its windows are framed by dark, ornate trim, and ivy climbs freely around them, softening the structure with nature’s touch. In the foreground, rich purples, blues, and greens suggest tall flowering plants swaying in the breeze. The sky above is a mix of soft gray clouds and patches of blue, hinting at a day transitioning between sunlight and overcast moments.

The scene evokes a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere — where architecture and nature intertwine in quiet harmony. The artist’s brushwork is loose and expressive, creating a vivid impression without rigid detail. The bottom right of the painting bears the signature "Olivia Checiu '24" in red.

"Romantic Setting"- one of my large paintings from last year, on half sheet Arches paper. It will be exhibited in an international watercolor exhibition held by IWS Romania this summer. #watercolor #painting #art #artwork #acuarela #aquarelleart #traditionalart #watercolorpainting #watercolors

This image is a watercolor painting of a serene garden scene. At the center is a round white wrought iron table with intricate floral patterns. On the table sits a small gray flower pot holding a tall stem of purple flowers. Surrounding the table are matching white wrought iron chairs with ornate backs and seats. Dappled sunlight filters through greenery, casting delicate shadows of the table and chair patterns onto the stone patio floor. In the background, lush green foliage and white flowers add depth and a sense of peaceful enclosure. The overall mood is calm, sunlit, and tranquil — evoking a quiet morning or afternoon in a lovely garden nook.

"Colors of Summer" - my newest #watercolor #painting of a beautiful small town in the south of Crete, #greece. Painted on #arches paper, 38x56cm. #art #artwork #sea #seascape

This image is a watercolor painting depicting a serene coastal village nestled at the base of a rugged, tree-covered mountain. The foreground features calm, turquoise-blue water with two small boats gently floating—one closer to the viewer with a white hull and tan top, and another further in the distance. The water is clear near the shore, revealing rocks and pebbles beneath the surface.

Across the bay, whitewashed buildings cluster along the shoreline, their reflections shimmering in the water. Behind the village, the mountain rises steeply, covered in a mix of green and autumn-colored foliage, with textures blending softly into the sky. The sky above is a clear, gradient blue, suggesting a bright, sunny day. The painting conveys a peaceful, idyllic Mediterranean coastal scene.

"Sunset with Boats"- White Nights watercolours on Arches hot pressed cotton paper 300g/mp, 34x24cm. 2021. Reference photo by Ben Allison. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #seascape #artwork #art #painting #sunset

A serene watercolor painting of a sunset over a calm lake. The sky is filled with soft, dramatic clouds in shades of purple, orange, and pink, blending into a pale yellow near the horizon. The sun has just set behind dark, distant hills. Two sailboats, depicted in silhouette, float peacefully on the reflective water. The lake mirrors the sky’s vivid colors—deep blues at the bottom, transitioning to warm reds and golds near the horizon. The stillness of the scene conveys a quiet, contemplative mood.
