The moonlight reflects off the water, creating a shimmering effect. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the mood of the scene, from the dark blues and greens of the water to the lighter shades of the moon and sky. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured feel. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the scene.
