Matte Painting

Here's my matte painting. I have to say the hardest parts of this tutorial would probably be getting rid of the palm tree and then breaking things and making it look all dirty. To get rid of the palm tree, I used the clone stamp tool and reflected the curved window on the right over to the left side to replace the palm tree. To make the house dirty, I just followed their steps. I also added a pattern overlay to the grunge layers and put the pattern overlay on Multiply blending mode to give it some more texture. Below is the original mansion.
