A charge artist (or charge scenic artist and also head scenic artist) leads and oversees the painting of stage, film or television scenery. In the United States such individuals are typically members of the United Scenic Artists union.
The duties of the charge artist involve techniques for replicating color and texture, as well as preparing and aging various surfaces. [1]
The charge artist interprets the scenic designer's technical drawings and paint elevations, and with a crew of journeymen scenic artists, brings them to life on the actual scenery.
The charge artist is also responsible for the budgeting of the finished sets along with the production designer and the art director.[2]
