2 other methods to recreate the "red" blend using the blend tool
1 draw a curved line, assign a large stroke and dark color, drag and copy the stroke straight below, assign a lighter color, use the blend tool, specify steps, say 5 and watch the blend of banded color appear. OR with the cloud shape, copy the shape, rescale it smaller, change the color and using the blend specify steps 3 or 5 and watch the banded colors appear.
Yep good point Guest, the blend tool is another fun technique which could be implemented in this technique as well. Making the first and last shape to the correct length and shape is important, and then adding blend with just a few steps could blend it with certain hues in between the two. Of course there wouldn't be as much customization with the hues, but it's a trade-off for an automatic blend with the colors calculated to be the same "distance" in hue from each other.
