ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #145:

First I loaded one brush with French Ultramarine and another with Cerulean Blue, then wet the paper and quickly mixed the 2 blues wet-in-wet while carefully leaving white paper for the cloud shapes. Before the paint dried, I lifted out some wispy edges with a damp sponge. After this layer was completely dry, I gently rewet the paper and added a delicate wash of Permanent Rose to the cloud and the top of the sky, using a damp sponge to soften edges, make transitions and remove excess paint.
