If you paint the forest, the trees will come. Painting the areas that are not the subject, but rather the background will give a unity to the background. Then you can cut into that layer and "find" trees by painting what's behind them. Repeating this, each time going darker, will grow you a forest in no time! For variety's sake, add a positive shape tree or two where it comes up against the light. This technique can be used in depicting buildings, flowers, schooners, and abstract designs.
Think negative!
