I agree, although I am not a scenic artist I do work around them at times, they have some fantastic methods with paints, one thing I notice about all the methods is it involves a fair bit of layering, sometimes it's like watching a magic show, a good scenic artist can pull illusions far greater then the best magic acts. Sadly I feel in the film industry it is very much a dying art.
