I used a combination of sponges and wide brushes to apply the liquitex acrylic paint for the sky color. Cerulean blue was the base for the darker color and I lightened it with titanium white as I moved down from the top. Quite a bit of matte medium was used to increase the coverage.
Clouds were brushed and sponged in with titanium white, and then used a gray, burnt umber mix for the shadows.
Clouds are always a struggle. Some areas come out good and some need work.
The size of the layout is making it tough to judge the best horizon line since its only 12" wide. I may go in later and try and add extra clouds lower in the sky.
