This task we'll learn how to picture fluffy clouds and sun's rays.
Open a new file: File -> New (ctrl+n). Paint it, using the Gradient Tool.
Choose now the Brush Tool and create the future cloud's shape on a new layer. To create a new layer, just click on the rapid button on the Layers window.
Add now more colors and volume to the clouds, changing a little the brush's size.
Copy the clouds' layer with next combination: Layer -> Duplicate Layer. Apply also Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur.
Merge now the first layer with the previous one: Layer -> Merge Down (ctrl+e), applying after that Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur.
Start to colorize, setting preliminary in the brush's adjustments
Hardness on 0%.
Choose now Smudge Tool
Create the effect of having fluffy clouds with the blurred circular moving.
Make the clouds' layer a little lighter, using Image -> Adjustments -> Curves (ctrl+m).
Give to the background's layer more brightness: Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast.
Using the Dodge Tool, picture the sun's rays now.
Our work is finished!
