i... am... a... tree master. :)
i LOVE doing trees - it's my favorite part of my paintings!
trees... *You can use a small piece of posterboard (or index card), bent in half, and pour your tree on.
*Or you can use a palette knife (guitar pic, piece of hard posterboard, etc) and carve the tree into the existing wet paint. Great for white trees on dark background.
*Or you can use a palette knife with a little paint on it and draw the tree on with the knife.
*Or you can use a sponge brush and draw your trees on that way. Just make sure you use a small sponge brush so that you have more control over where your tree goes. :)
Once you get the hang of it you'll probably end up mixing a few of these techniques all at the same time!
My preferred way is to pour them on. Start with a small piece of posterboard bent in half. Spray your brown or black or whatever into the bent piece of posterboard, THEN start at the base of where you want the tree and pour the paint from your bent piece of posterboard onto the painting. GO SLOW. And control where you want the tree base and limbs to go. Once you're happy with it, go back in with a palette knife and carve some highlights into the tree that you just made. Then I use part of a sea sponge and dab on the foliage in layers.
Tell you what - you tell me which way you'd like to try and I can show you a video that is doing it! lol

Ohhhhh i forgot about palm trees! Airbrushguy is the palm tree master! lol
For those I would probably say use a foam brush to draw the base of the tree... maybe cut some curved horizontal lines into it repeating all the way up the tree... then use the foam brush again to add the palm leaves at the top.

Muden has pretty much covered my favorite technique but I'd like to add that for a kinda "automatic" highlighting or shading effect, try spraying more than one color into your "tree pourer". DO NOT MIX IT. This will allow more than one color to come out in different patterns with one pass and give the trees more detail.

Men with bulky frames will gravitate more towards external frame backpacks, since these types are considered manlier than the comparatively smaller internal framed ones, and will generally offer more space for north face outlet all of their items. It's relatively cheap price makes it even more appealing to budget-conscious men, and chances are discounted hiking backpacks are easy to find despite a smaller number made.wyy
