There's a great book about the history of matte painting called The Invisible Art
For a generation, people have been saying that representational painting is dead. It turns out it just gets done under different circumstances now.
You might want to look for a copy of "The Invisible Art". It's a beautiful book about the history of matte painting. You might be able to find a used copy somewhere. I'm not sure why the hard cover editions are so expensive now, it wasn't when the book came out. https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Art-Mark-Cotta-Vaz/dp/0811831361/
CGSociety has digital matte painting challenges that might be fun to look through. http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?s=f772a7365e5a7d7980edf4e4f284c89a&f=370
There are many facets of matte painting so I would say just get to know the industry and learn about the techniques used before making any huge purchases. I'm not a matte painter but have been a fan of matte painting for many years. If you search enough you'll find a ton of great resources online. I would look to see which forums (not reddit) are fairly active and then join and start to learn!
