Now then…I have seen a painting by Thomas Moran ‘Cliffs of the Upper Colorado River, Wyoming Terrority;’ on a book jacket..the painting is striking..at least to me…Now I don’t want to copy it..(can’t anyway..haven’t that much talent) but I would like to get effect of the storm that is on the cliffs of the mesas in the background…The rain I assume is skilled brush strokes, but the clouds…lord those clouds…The dark gray/light gray I assume..just a touch of blue at the very top..but I am also seeing yellow…brown…white/red mixed..(I assume but have no idea how to even begin to get those colors…any ideas?

Addendum: I guess you need to know what colors I am working with as well..I have a set of ‘Bob Ross Landscape’ colors, which as most of the basics..I thought they were made by Martin but I was wrong…a closer check reveals they are made (in the USA surprise surprise) by ‘Dixon’…
