A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location.

Small drops of water building up an atmosphere with a tinge of blue. A washed blue creates the ilusion of distance. Interesting to see that in visual effects i noticed the same process digitaly.
