“Super glad that I had the opportunity to take Eric’s course. His attention to detail and passion for the subject shines through the course material and projects. This class gave a very comprehensive breakdown of matte painting—giving us exposure to industry standard programs, allowing us to practice 3D skills, providing repetition through projects and demos to improve digital painting skills, and walking through how to tie all elements together. I learned so much across each discipline within Matte painting, and was challenged in a way that allowed me to feel my growth throughout the course. The quality of the course is topped by Eric’s instruction and I would highly recommend anyone who is interested multiple parts of the CG pipeline and learning 3d and 2d take this class. ”

“Eric really takes the time to demonstrate a variety of methods that can help you achieve what you want with your project. His demos can also inspire you to take you project steps further. He's such a knowledgeable, kind teacher who that makes the learning process fun and easy. Definitely would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn about matte painting and creating establishing shots. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, Eric always shares something new to learn. Rated 5 out of 5 ”

“This course was great! Eric covered a wide variety of matte painting techniques both in 3D and 2D. Most valuable was the individual feedback from a veteran artist and I watched as my shot improved in leaps and bounds. I would highly recommend this course.”

“I wanted to learn more about animation and Disney great background which match so well. I thought at first time that the matte painter make some BG, like as the sky, cloud, and some city with some photos and paints stuff but not at this extent. I'm not a good painter but event a beginner as myself can still do something nice with Eric as mentor. He is a great teacher :) I learn a lot and I want to do my own layout/previs with some of these techniques for dress up the scene et render some beautiful image. :) ”

“If you want to learn matte painting, but don't know where to start Matte Mentors is the perfect class for you. I am so glad I had to opportunity to take this class and learn from Eric. Prior to taking this class I had no experience with programs such as Maya or Nuke, but after Matte Mentors I feel much more confident navigating those programs and can even create my own projects from scratch. I highly recommend this class. ”
