The creator has formed this artwork by combining of pallid to cerulean shades where the latter tone is purposefully dis-colored to give a muddy impression. The image lightens in color towards its brim and thereby moves from blue to a dull white. The creation is done predominantly using palette knife strokes where the skill of the creator is brought out in strategic placing of these strokes and shades to bring forth the muddy look of a river in abstract form. Certain strokes are placed in the midst of a contrasting shade in order to give a colorful and yet realistic look to the creation.
