What technique is used to draw the lifelike backgrounds in the movie Ponyo?

In the movie Ponyo, the backgrounds (the clouds, pictured below) are not done in a typical anime style. Instead, they are much more lifelike and 3D. What is the technique used to do this? Is this used in other films or series?
