"Matte
Painting: Maison hantée" by Sebastien Gaucher
|
 |
Why
not add a lightning bolt to make the scene
a little more disturbing ?
Using the simple non feathered brush,
this is simple. Draw your lightning, duplicate
the layer, and blur the copies to make
the lightning glow.
Then, use the Dodge tool to brighten the
clouds from where the lightning is originating. |

 |
Paint
dead trees behind the house, or use existing
ones from pictures. Of course, make the
colors and luminosity match. |

The
fun part, now ! Let's break down the house.
Well, not all of it.
To make it look older, I added a hole
in the rood, painted with brushes. |
| |
|
|
|
Don't
be afraid to add broken parts ! The house
is supposed to still be standing, so don't
go too far.
You can see that I broke a wooden beam,
a pipe, a board, another part of the roof,
and a window. When you break something,
use the clone stamp tool to fill in the
empty space you created. |

Make
it look dirty. First of all, the windows.
I used a non regular brush and painted
the windows with a matte color. Then,
change the transfer mode of the dirt layer
to make sure that dirt and windows blend
nicely together. For this example I chose
the Luminosity mode. |
| |
|
 |
Repeat
that step, only do it on the entire house.
Paint with a dirtier color and set your
layer to Multiply.
Make sure you make joints and edges look
filthy too, because that's where dirt
appears most.
This is one of the longest steps, but
take your time and don't mindlessly add
dirt everywhere ! |

Here,
the porch, zoomed in. |

 |
The
last step is to create a Levels adjustment
layer to get the final contrast of the
matte painting. |
| |
|
Here
it is ! You can compare the original image
and the matte painting !
