Buy it at : The Gnomon Workshop (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com)

Instructor: Yanick Dusseault
This DVD demonstrates the basic techniques of digital matte painting for visual effects in a production environment. Dusso combines elements of photography, simple 3D models and freehand painting techniques within Adobe Photoshop, merging the boundaries of realism with graphic illustration for stunning impact.

Topics covered:
Exposure, Light Quality, Depth and Atmosphere, Integration and Painting Process, Directing the Viewer, Micro-composition, Image Complexity

Friend of mine just fw'ed me to this site. Great to see Matte Painting get its own forum.

I got the both Dusso dvds and am very happy with the content. I do wish he went into greater detail, and that the quality of the video was better. Its hard to see exactly what he's selecting within Photoshop. Its great just watching him paint and get a sense in how he works. Very talented Matte Artist.

I also rushed to buy both DVDs only to find out it's not the how-to DVD for beginners like me, but more geared towards more experience matte painters who can gain a lot just by watching other artist paint.

I wished the Photoshop's tools were discussed in more details, and why the techniques work etc.
