Well like just about everybody spent a lot of time trying to create tree impressions for the plan as well as the perspectives.
Plan
As usual stumbled on this idea and developed it I think the result is quite effective and can be played around with further
1) Pro marker on Trace, shade to create depth, (the ink stays wet so mixing is possible). Let it dry. The ink one side with .3-.5 pen.
Then put in photoshop, Filter gallery>watercolour>ok and then again but this time poster edges. Adjust to suit. Cut out, play with colours etc
Cut out and duplicate loads of times for tree’s.When done, each tree will be on a single layer. Select all, duplicate. Then all the duplicates merge into one file. Turn to black via images>Hue andBalance>lightness bar to the left, so black.
And now the ta da bit, that layer put underneath all the tree layers, then shift to one side and by magic you have perfect shadows in the shape of the trees all moving at the same angle.
Perspective.
Well spent ages with pencils, pro markers and to be honest still have not got it, but a start, pro markers on trace
Generally work needs to be done on perspectives.
Watercolour pencil + sharpie
Watercolour Pencil +.3 pen
Watercolour pencil+Bad Temper
It's about people, stupid... 
thanks for the tips, I like the bad-tempered tree – what is its Latin name?
I had a dream last night about paint effects for trees – using paint splattered on paper with a toothbrush…I'll try it out tomorrow and post my daubing….
