"Put in a little bit of yellow with a little bit of red and blue all together. It'll sort of make it tanned colored. And, then we're going to work on parts of the clouds in the shadow areas. We'll apply this directly in sort of a wash tone. And, put a little more yellow in it. Your work area is over here. And, what we're doing is the shadows. Because, the light's coming from the other side of the clouds. It's leaving some shadows within the clouds. So, this has to be put in pretty vaguely. We don't want any real hard linear edges. Remember, you can always blot up color if you catch it quick enough. Sometimes, you have to scrub it. Now, you check it to make sure that all the blue's put in that you want to have covered. And, then we've got this sort of a vague cloud type look. I'm going to add some blue at this point back into the clouds, I mean to the sky and work it from there."
