Enlarge the brush's size by pressing Ctrl +] and try to represent one more layer of the same color.
On the next layer the brush needs to be enlarged even more, changing the Opacity on 40% and trying to get the same result as below:
Select the white color, Opacity of 10% and represent an element remembering the clouds.
Set the next parameters on the layers' palette.
