Perhaps, one of the true talents of real visual artists is their ability to discover and reveal new shades, facets, and dimensions of the usual, familiar, and conventional things. Let’s take water for example… One of the most widely-spread substances on Earth every living person deals with every day. However, you will be amazed with the variety of unexpected forms and visual effects, which can be created with or by this chemical substance. Though its structure is defined as simple as H₂O in chemistry, a single drop of water, captured by a skillful photographer, can reveal the whole new world of amazing color spectrum and super complex geometrical structures.

Water is usually perceived as a dynamic substance, which rarely stands still in the natural environment.  However, human eye cannot catch all the changing nature of water in motion. Happily, the lens of digital cameras can… Even a drop, falling in to a glass of water, captured by a photographer, can be a masterpiece by itself. Indeed, water, whether it is a quiet brook, magnificent iceberg or a powerful mountain waterfall, has always inspired painters and visual art designers. Multiple water and liquid effects are commonly used in advertising materials or web graphics. Some of the visual art works, featuring water, are presented in the showcase below. It is not only a demonstration of highly versatile nature of water – it is also a source of inspiration and new creative ideas.
