The best place to start might be by doing some for your local am dram group - so you're heading in the right direction.

 

Many of the Theatre Schools and Colleges run scenic art courses - I'm fairly sure Central School of Speech and Drama in London does. Or there may be courses at places that are more design orientated - St Martins College again springs to mind. In fact Googling Scenic Art Courses brings up lots of options.

 

You could try and find a scenic artist near you who could take you under there wing and maybe give you some more experience. Or maybe a local rep theatre or scenic construction company. (if you add your location to your profile people may be able to make suggestions).

 

As to money - no body in this industry is paid particularly well. But a good scenic artist, who's in demand can make a reasonable living. A good, experienced freelancer might be able to ask between £200 and £300 a day - but they will have some over heads as well.
