Welcome to Part 1 of the Photoshop Quick Tips library!
This series has been put together to pass on those “industry secrets” that help professional artists complete their work in record times. The technique’s you learn in this series are the result of decades of experience contributed and shared amongst artists during their careers.
This series is organized in such a way that you will progress from the most simple to most complex tips and tricks. In Part 1 we start with looking at customization of Photoshop preferences so that we have the program set up in a way that allows matte painters and concept artists to work more efficiently. We’ll then start looking at some basic technique’s which many beginner artists are looking to get more understanding of.
As you progress into Part 2 of the series you will notice some more advanced technique’s covering things like how to quickly repeat objects into the distance, how to create VFX quality masks of images and how to use the Vanishing Point tool to easily modify or model grid lines for artworks and photography with strong perspective lines.

Channel
Conrad here, I’m the founder of MattePaint and author of this series.
While I appreciate that many people can’t afford to pay for proper training, I would like you all to know you can get access to this course and *all* of our training content for one payment of $19. This is the price of a Lite subscription to MattePaint and gives you access to all our tutorials at once. You can watch everything in a month and cancel, if you wish.
For us to continue making these courses, we have to be paid to create them, this is my only income and we reinvest any spare funds into paying for experienced artists to create more tutorials. Without your support, we can’t do this.
If you’re really serious about learning to become a matte painter for VFX, then you should join our Discord community. Join us! (and for obviously don’t tell us you found us through this site!) https://discord.gg/rVAexqJnpj
Discord is our central place for updates, advice, feedback and conversation and is full of other mentors giving their personal time to help students. I’m proud to share that I have personally helped over 25 students directly get into the industry.
I hope we have your support and to see you in our community!
