Scenic Painters is an information resource for all those interested in learning about scenic painting. The site is run by James Rowse, a scenic artist with over twenty years experience painting scenery for the stage. The site has information about the short courses run by James from his studio in Carshalton, Surrey. James runs one day courses in paint effects, throughout the year, a two week course in the Spring and a four week course in the Autumn.

Scenic Painters offers a wealth of information about scenic painting and paint effects. There is information about the two and four week courses in Scenic Painting, the one day courses in Paint Effects and a large resource section with articles, advice, and information.

Scenic Painters run two types of one day courses.
Paint Effects for the Stage serves as an introduction to scenic painting. Students learn about four main types of paint effects, wood graining, marbling, brickwork and aged and distressed paintwork. The course is an ideal way for those involved in amdram groups or college productions to expand their repertoire of scenic paint effects.

Paint Effects for Interiors focuses on paint effects to transform your home. Again the day breaks down into four parts and students learn to paint a scumbled wall, a limed floor, how to prepare and paint furniture, and how to use stencils.

James Rowse began work as a scenic artist at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry. He has painted scenery for numerous theatre productions and has also worked on a number of TV and film projects. In 2006 James started DAP Studio, an independent scenic art studio specializing in scenery for the stage. DAP Studio, (Scenic Painters sister company) have painted scenery for English National Opera, Glyndebourne, Shakespeare's Globe, The Donmar Warehouse, The Almeida Theatre, The Royal Court, as well as numerous West End and international productions.
