Description
After making a grayscale-drawing of clouds last time it was finally time to learn about the color of clouds.

_________________________________________________

Something I learnt:
The shadows on the clouds are a desaturated sky color. What really stuck with me though is the fact that the shadows will usually be lighter than the surrounding sky (at least that's how it was in the most refrence photos I looked at).
It's kind of counterintuitve since shadows are usually darker than the surrounding. But I think the reason for it is that clouds are white (or they reflect all light colors would probably be more correct to say) and they also get a lot of light from the sky surrounding it and a part of that skylight is hitting the bottom of the cloud, making the shadows less dark.
