"Now I am going to start with my medium sized brush with the good tip and I am going to get some black on it because what I am going to next is the palm trees. Now I like to do silhouette palm trees but you can make your palm trees brown and green if you want. So this is how I do it I draw a small little island silhouette of an island just on the cheek or wherever you want put it in the middle of the face if you wanted but you can try to make it look organic or however you want and now this part is a little tricky but what your doing is you're going to be painting a rhombus tower a rhombus shaped tower so it's kind of easy but just start off with a shape of a rhombus and just go from there. Stack them on top of each other and ends up looking like a palm tree which is really cool. Take your time you don't have to go too fast just stack them up on top of each other. Fill in all the spaces that you need and that is the base of your palm tree."
