Some clouds from me. I messed around with them for a while, but there's something still not quite right about them.

Bluetabbycat,

Wether winter, spring, summer or fall ~
Clouds and skies are sights that enthrall ~
Chromatic lights, whites on azure blues take flight ~
Inspire the dreams that are sure to delight ~

Lovely sky painting! Clouds are one of my favorite fancies.

You have done fine work with these.
For what it may be worth, I'll offer a couple of ideas
that you might find helpful.
If you have the clouds on a different layer than the sky, you might try using the pallete knife on low pressure, to round out, and thin, the bottoms of the clouds.
If they are all on the same layer - start a new layer, take the glitter tool on low settings, same color, and sprinkle a little color around the bottoms of the clouds, then use the pallette knife.
Another thing I have found to be helpful, is to take the eraser, on a low pressure maybe 2 to 4 %, vary the width to suit the situation, and use it to thin down areas that you are not satisfied with. Helps to give them that soft look.

Hope you find these to be of some help.

I like this old thread. So many great looking sky and clouds here. Taking a break and have fun with making this cloud. Only airbrush and palette knife.

I think maybe it was you Pai who taught me this technique, but I think you were better at it

Just now about 10 mins did a quickie to lift up my friend's spirit and energy that has been sick for long time.

Oil paint, cloud use eraser (the white is oil paint) this time with already blue background, knife and stencil for bird, all are AR4 presets stuffs. just change different setting on oil brush. not really paying much attention on the waves direction on this quickie, i just know the bright sky can cheer up my friend
