The day was very hot 90 degrees plus and the clouds were on the move, boiling and later that day a very mean thunderstorm came thru. I saw these clouds and wanted to catch them for a painting later.
You can take your camera and get some amazing pictures for reference. Light at the bottom and bluer at the top because as we look up we see the sky open into the outer space region. Of course that's were its truly dark.
Paint it with light colors then add your darks. Painting in oil you can add dry titanium white to build your clouds but always add a touch of Cad red or Cad yellow for a more interesting look.
In winter the clouds seem more gray cast, I suppose it is because of the lower sun level in the Northern hemisphere.
Take more pictures and then use them for your reference material.
