: How do I draw inside an object in Inkscape? I have the image shown above where the black colored stroke is the outline of the cloud. I also have a slightly offsetted blue color fill. What

Assuming that you are starting from two paths, one filled in cyan without stroke paint and the other with a black stroke and without fill; and assuming that the filled path is at the bottom, we have a similar situation:

Select and duplicate the path with the black stroke while pressing Ctrl-D





Maintaining selected the duplicate, hold Shift key, select the path with the cyan fill and obtain an intersection pressing Ctrl+*




You can tweak a little the cloud:



You can obtain a similar effect (although not flat) starting from a path with border and fill and using Filters->Bevels->Combined lighting or other analogous filter:

It sounds as if you want to do the following:


Duplicate your black path.
Select your black path and your cloud.
Path → Intersection.
