The sun had set over Somerled and Walkley street, as seen near the Metro grocery store. On the horizon the sky was a pastel coral orange, which transitioned into a grey blue into blue. It is a difficult technique to master because blue (PB15) and orange (PO62) are quite different, they both need to be diluted with water, and then blended together seamlessly. I used a carbon black (PBk6)/orange mix in the mid point, then ran the brush over the whole thing with light orange again. The front doors of the grocery store had a lot of contrast from the artificial light, and a pile of pumpkins off to the side.
