Tips:
-Use multiple colors. Clouds are NOT simply white!
-Don't dilute acrylic with water when blending clouds; acrylic has a propensity to dry lighter in value as it dries.
-Maintain contact with the canvas working in small, circular motions as you shape the clouds.
-Grab lighter values as you work your way outward
