Scenic Charge Artist

Scenic Charge Artist Jason Edwards paints walls, backdrops, and props to create the visual surface details of a show's set. At the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Edwards works with each production's scenic designer and interprets their vision, using paint and a variety of materials. Each project brings unique challenges which he solves with a simple trial-and-error approach by creating samples. Here Edwards shows how he created a cinderblock surface.

Love seeing scenics painting standing up. I took the "Summer Scenic Painting" course at Cobalt Studios in White Lake New York and learned that there. Changed my life in the theater.

Thank you so much for this! It is so hard to find a well done and informative video of what the job of a scenic artist entails.
