Awful traits of one creating a scene (6)
I believe the answer is:
artist
'one creating a scene' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'awful traits' is the wordplay.
'awful' is an anagram indicator.
'traits' anagrammed gives 'ARTIST'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for artist that I've seen before include "A painter, sculptor or other creative person" , "Painter in dire strait" , "Constable, perhaps" , "Old learned man" , "Painter, sculptor etc" .)
