A Digital Matte Artist, or Digital Matte Painter (DMP), is today's modern form of a traditional Matte Painter in the Entertainment Industry. He or she digitally paints photo-realistic interior and exterior environments that could not have been otherwise created or visited.
The term 'digital' is used to distinguish a DMP from a traditional Matte Painter, although this is unnecessary, as the nature of a Matte Painter's work remains the same, regardless of the tools and techniques used.

Famous quotes containing the word artist:
“The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure—if you don’t like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don’t like it, you don’t understand and you ought to find out.”
—John Drummond (b. 1934)
