Rain Day

Today’s image is all about water.

Water is so magical to look at, photograph, be in, experiment with because it can do so many things to and with our senses. It not only reflects, but is, at the same time, transparent! We see *on* and *in* it simultaneously. It catches light and color. It distorts size and position of what is seen through it. It is powerful enough to etch through stone but can be as gentle as a foggy mist.

Remember this as you create.
• Before painting, soak your paper in water.
• Take a photograph of an object through a glass of water.
• Find out what happens to a photograph that is soaked in water.
• Click here for more outrageously watery suggestions.
• And finally, don’t ever underestimate the power of a shower for providing an atmosphere conducive to inspiration!

Thanks, Elinesca for today’s inspiration.
