Here is a great lecture by Chris Oatley on Texturing and Rendering techniques in context of Hudson River School paintings. It's a must watch if you are into matte painting or landscape painting :)
I just finished working on this one with my friend Vishnu. I did mostly the matte painting part as this piece was meant for his compositing reel, do check it out and hope you guys like it :)
Here is a new matte painting which I did from scratch, though I started with a very loose concept sketch it went on changing and finally ended up with this one. Thanks a lot to my friend Igor (shamanik) for his valuable comments.
Lemme know what you guys think and thanks in advance for taking a look. Cheers, Rahul
