P1. Matte painting comparisons - Wikipedia and The digital matte painting handbook

Things in common 
Things that are unique/different 

Both the cards had a different definition however they did mean the same thing. Both cards defined matte painting as "a painted representation,set or distant location. It is mainly used in film. It also is used instead of building a set and creates the illusion of the environment".  

The differences in the two definitions were that Wikipedia said it "creates the illusion of an environment that is non-existent in real life" but The digital matte painting handbook said that it was "painted on the glass on location". This suggests that the location is real and not non-existent as Wikipedia defined it as.
