I think they're mostly employed for stagecraft these days.<br /><br />Not completely related, but I have vivid memories of seeing an "Art of Star Wars" exhibit in San Francisco in the early 90's and was completely blown away by the matte paintings on glass. Since they're only intended to trick the camera, they don't look nearly as perfect in person- lots of strange brushwork to suggest detail that you wouldn't see in traditional painting. I think it's similar for scenic painting as well.Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739442260668754241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-55418183570461952012018-05-16T10:35:08.321-04:002018-05-16T10:35:08.321-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Greg Prosmushkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469085569109130005noreply@blogger.com
