Sorry, I don't have any more good tips. I'm mostly self taught myself. So my knowledge is sporadic and poorly defined.
But I can say that it looks like you're avoiding the edges. All the blobs of paint are center of each plane. It's odd.

The clouds look like they don't have a light source. Clouds are effected by light and shadow just like everything else. Determine which direction the sun is coming from, and paint in shadows accordingly. Shadows on the clouds tend to be on the bottom, because that's where the sun can't reach. Except that clouds are not very dense, so light is capable of shining through. So you have to keep in mind that low density areas will be lighter than high density areas.

Speaking of shadows, I would suggest matching the temperature of the sky more closely to the temperature of the shadows. By that I mean you have blue in your shadows, which is fine. Except that it's not the same kind of blue you used for your sky. Which, could be said to be a stylistic choice, and that would be valid. I just think matching the blues of shadow and sky create a pleasing cohesion.

Think about it like this: How would you shadow your clouds? The clouds are the whitest and brightest color in your image. So their shadows would have to reflect blue the most out of anything. Go google some clouds. You will notice that they all have blue tinted shadows. Some say it's due to reflecting the sky, other says it's reflecting the water. I really don't get it, I'm not into science. But their shadows tend to be blue when the sun is out. Less blue when the sky is completely covered.

Anyway, whichever shade of blue you shade your clouds with, should match the sky's shade of blue. And that shade should match the shadows of the buildings. Keeping color relativity in mind of course. You shouldn't make the shadows literally blue. But just skewed toward that blue.
