For this piece the artist used a spilt complementary color scheme. It looks like yellow is the only primary color used in this piece. The rest of the colors are secondary and tertiary colors. There is also some use of pink, which is a tint for red, along with some white. Since there seems to be a lot of yellow and orange in the water, it appears the lighting might be that of a sunrise or sunset. The temperature of the colors seem to give off a warm, light-hearted feeling.
Some shading is used to make the girl,the swing, and the tree branches look three-dimensional. The girl overlaps the tree branches, so it looks like they are behind her. The girl of course is the focal point of the piece, since she seems to stick out more. From the ripple effect of the background, the fact that the trees are a little blurry, one can tell that they being reflected on water. The piece also has asymmetrical balance with the way the trees are reflected and with the bell on the swing, but the girl is symmetrical, making it a good example of Gestalt.
