This is part 1 of 2 video tutorial that covers various methods for digitally painting a background on a rendered CG image. It covers atmospheric perspective, mountains and placing and adjusting textures, and lighting effects. Part 2 will take the existing image and will turn it into a winter scene. Feel free to download the original image, and if you have Photoshop and a WACOM tablet, feel free to follow along. This tutorial was featured in the May 2011 issue of Digital Artist Daily. Have fun and let me know how it goes.
