A Scenic Artist paints, textures and finishes scenery for theatre, film, exhibitions or events, often working at large scale in workshops or venues. Terms should identify productions and references, sample and approval stages, paints and coatings, spray or specialist-process boundaries, access equipment, ventilation, protective equipment, colour and ageing requirements, collaboration with carpenters and designers, touch-ups, touring, material purchasing, waste, intellectual property and final finish records.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Mix apply and document approved materials.
Use access equipment and workshop controls safely.
Coordinate designers carpenters and production schedules.
