Jet - stage 2

On looking at the painting this morning over breakfast I concluded that it didn't need another layer of tone and that I could start to use colour. I managed to get the sky done in one day in a morning and afternoon session and don't want to overpaint much tomorrow as I want to keep it looking lively and fresh. An orange/blue near complementary palette was chosen, I used the following colours for the sky: Prussian Blue, Permanent Orange, Naples Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Lead Tin Yellow Lemon, Zinc White, Warm White and Warm Light Yellow - all Michael Harding paints.
Although it's a storm cloud I want to suggest a nuclear explosion as well. The deserted street hopefully gives it a melancholy and surreal feel...
