Furthermore, the scene creates shimmering reflections that dance on the surface. The sky is filled with clouds. They are painted in warm tones of yellow and orange. Because of this, it creates a stunning backdrop to the serene estuary.

Also, the subtle gradations of colour create a sense of depth and realism. Therefore, it is a piece that truly shines. This technique enhances the overall visual impact, giving the piece an ethereal quality.
