Having decided to use this idea as one of my proposals in my studies I did further research and tried a lot of different techniques.
Here I have used a much more painterly approach in Painter.
I started this with a very quick Painter wash then added the trees with a single photoshop brush, same for the grasses
I tried lots more stuff with grasses to get the foreground looking better and work on the colours a little more.
I gathered a lot of photographic reference to help make the brushes. But as you can see here it didn't really work. It was all too specific and hard edged, and gets a bit too same-samey.
The Photoshop brush technique really wasn't working I needed more variation in texture and edges so I moved on to primarily using Corel Painter.
This proved much better as I could put specific textures in the paper surface and spray elements on with the image hose. It gave it a much more random and less mechanical look.
The results were encouraging, it was time to get into the final images...
