L3D is seeking dependable scenic artists and painters for project-based work creating themed environments, dimensional scenery, props, and specialty finishes.

We are particularly interested in painters who have experience using HVLP spray equipment or airless sprayers. Experience with either system is preferred but not required. Candidates with strong brush, roller, glazing, stippling, sponging, distressing, faux-finishing, or other scenic-painting techniques are also encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities may include:

Preparing, priming, base-coating, and finishing dimensional scenic elements
Applying paint with HVLP, airless, brush, roller, and other appropriate methods
Creating aged, distressed, weathered, metallic, stone, wood, concrete, rust, and other specialty finishes
Mixing and color-matching paints and coatings
Masking and protecting adjacent surfaces
Working from renderings, reference images, samples, and direction from project leads
Properly setting up, operating, cleaning, and maintaining spray equipment
Following all shop safety, ventilation, PPE, and respiratory-protection requirements
Maintaining an organized work area and meeting project schedules
Preferred qualifications:

Scenic painting, theatrical production, themed entertainment, mural, prop, display, or specialty-finishing experience
Experience operating an HVLP or airless sprayer
Understanding of spray patterns, viscosity, pressure settings, tip selection, masking, and equipment cleaning
Ability to reproduce an approved finish consistently across multiple pieces
Strong color-matching and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently while taking direction and collaborating with a fabrication team
Dependability and willingness to work within project-driven schedules
Theatre students, recent graduates, freelance scenic artists, and experienced specialty painters are encouraged to apply. Professional experience is helpful, but a strong portfolio, practical skill, reliability, and willingness to learn are equally important.

To apply, please submit:

A brief introduction and summary of relevant experience
Resume or work history
Portfolio, website, or photographs of completed work
Specific experience with HVLP, airless, or other spray equipment
General availability
Two professional references, if available
Selected candidates may be invited to complete a paid practical skills evaluation before being scheduled for project work.
