Samples of the chosen finish will be made for you when you decide to proceed with your project and make a deposit. The approved sample will then be the model from which the project will be executed from.

MURALS

 

How do I commission a mural and what are the steps involved?

 

Contact us with your ideas and vision for a mural  and we will be happy to speak and meet with you personally.  We will take detailed measurements and photographs, and collaborate with you in determining the best placement and subject matter. Once we have established a theme or basic direction, we take into consideration the room, funiture and decor before offering ideas.  A general idea of the budget should be discussed as this determines how much detail the mural will have. 

 

When we have the major concepts worked out, a rough sketch is prepared to show you what the mural should look like, gathering relevant images for details. 

 

A sketch fee of $200.00 is required which includes up to 2 sets of changes by the client and is deducted from the price of the project balance should you decide to place a commision.  A sketch takes considerable time and research, therefore the sketch fee is non-refundable should you decide not to move forward.

 

A deposit of 1/3 is required to schedule a start date and every attempt will be made to accommodate the client’s time line.  

 

Do you paint murals on canvas as well as walls?

 

Yes, we offer you the option of having your mural painted in our studio.

The benefits of this are:

 

• Your household or business is disrupted for only the day it takes to install the mural   

• Canvas murals can be shipped anywhere

• Canvas murals are removable should you ever move  

 

How much time does it take to paint a mural?

 

All murals are custom designed for each client and the amount of time varies depending upon these factors:

 

• The size 

• The complexity of the subject matter 

• The amount of detail

• The height and difficulty of the area where the mural is to be painted
