Here's an old project I'm working on in digital. It was done in gouache and charcoal dust and now I'm fixing it (when I have time) in photoshop. Any advice on how to do weird swirling fog is welcome.
oh how I love to paint wirly smoky fog....my suggestions would be to keep the opacity really low and have a really soft edged brush....like 0% hardness. I start wide and then work to smaller brushes, layering strokes on top of each other. Also think about not just using white for the smoke but white with a little somethin added like blue or yellow or red.
I met the man of my dreams, got married, had the cutest little cherub of a baby girl, and moved to North Dakota. My prince charming is very supportive of my art career and I finally have a studio space I can't wait to use. This means more artwork is forthcoming not to mention pictures of my sweet baby. Copyrights of all artwork belong to Casey Wigginton unless otherwise noted.

Take a look at brandondorman.com he's got several pieces that have some kind of swirling clouds or smoke that might help. Good luck!
