To effectively use chiaroscuro, which emphasizes the contrast between light and dark to create depth and volume, the artist would likely choose to include the reflection of the boats on the water. This technique enhances the play of light and shadow, adding dimension to both the boats and the setting. The reflection would also help to visually connect the boats with the environment, drawing attention to the interplay of light in both the sky and water.

A photograph shows several boats on a lake. The boats shadows are indicated by creating slightly darker areas of color on the water. The sky is made of various hues include orange, gray, and white.
