Summary
Specialist who applies color to sets and background art for stages, events, and video productions.
Description
Stage scenic painters work based on designs drawn by designers and directors, applying color and texture to background panels and three-dimensional objects. They employ priming, paint mixing, and techniques using brushes, rollers, and spray guns, creating special effects like trompe-l'œil using perspective.
