Personal matte painting that i did in Adobe photoshop, created to further develop my painting skills. My goal was to enhance the original photography and return the scene to the cold wintery morning of late 18th century China. I accomplished this by removing all signs of modern day culture and adding additional structures well remaining realistic and true to the environment itself. My final challenge was to change the original summery season to a cold winter by over painting snow and ice and grading to the correct tone.
