After poking some light holes into the deepest background foiliage to make it look a little more lush and dense, I misted it over with a VERY thin, translucent layer of the blue and white mix, with just a touch more white. A nice, hazy look is beginning to form. I went back to the tree and started to establish the details with some thicker Raw Umber and Hookers Green Deep. I washed over a little Sap Green where I anticipated adding moss and foliage. Keeping the contrast between the tree and the background high is essential at this point because I'll be knocking that tree back with the same mixture I used on the deeper jungle.
