Matte Painting Practice

This was a photograph of the tunnel at at Abertay University which I then painted over. To be honest, from the start to finish this didn't feel like my own work, somewhat cheated. Although artists such as Feng Zhu point out that a lot of the time during the industry artist will paint over 'plates' essentially scenes that are basically photographs and artists then use that scene to build their buildings for concept. 

(he talks about this in his 15th lesson on his free tutorials section on the website.)

I would much rather create a 3d scene of my own work and then paint from there; I think this will be the best approach for me.
