Magritte was a fantastic painter of clouds. Study his brush strokes and try to replicate. Clouds look soft, intern you should paint them with a soft touch.Anyone know how to paint clouds?
If it's on a regular cloudy day use white (top and a bit swept around), cold/light Gray (around the middle) and blue. Add in some other shades like yellow and orange if the sun is setting or rizing.
dont forget most clouds have darker or more grayer colour on the bottom if you are painting on canvas then just literally brush lightly over the top and use the hole to create a more random affect
when you paint a cloud try not to use just white paint.





give it some shape with colors that go well with the white, colours like purple and yellow,





and look closely at the lines in the clouds because those line are going to be what your paintbrush lines look like.
Constable certainly did.
