Test Painting/Backdrop Trees

The only thing I would add to the advice above is dont worry about adding tree trunks. The foreground trees would hide the trunks of the close background trees and the more distant ones would be lost in the haze. If you feel you must put trunks in; make a few thin lines first then put the leaves over top of the trunks. Try to practice on paper first to learn the technique, then try it on your backdrop. If you don't like the results just paint over it and try again.<br><br>Also keep in mind that the further away a tree is, the lighter the color should be.<br>
