Getting Started.
Before designing a mural many factors must be considered. Areas to be discussed are the size or dimensions of the mural, which wall(s) are available, the subject matter, and the amount of detail the owner wishes to see. Other factors such as the wall texture, interior or exterior murals, and the cost of the project should also be reviewed during the beginning of any mural. The artist and client will share ideas to produce the best results.
Preparing the design.
The artist will make the first trip to see the client at no cost. Once the project has been reviewed and agreed upon the artist will submit sketches for the clients approval. Research of subject matter is often necessary, it is important the artist has a good understanding of the clients ideas regarding details before painting begins. All murals are painted with interior or exterior acrylic house paints.
Cost.
The size and complexity of each mural usually determines the cost, and price varies with each individual project. Sometimes a large and simple mural may take the same amount of time to complete as a small detailed painting. The client and artist will discuss and agree on a final price, and once contracted the artist guarantees that the final price will not exceed that amount. Projects located outside of the Connecticut area might incur transportation or lodging expenses which will be reviewed and agreed upon by both parties as part of the contract.
