Here you can see sketches compared to the finished mural. The above sketches are on 18" by 24" paper. I first worked out the composition in pencil and then did one in color. The first color sketches had a bridge and figure in the composition, but the client decided to make changes. Above are the final sketches. As you can see, perspective, scale, and color are accurate. The mural with 10' high walls was completed within 2 weeks.

The theme for this mural is "diversity." I made two sets of sketches. One is done in color and the other is done in pencil. It took about a week to paint the mural.

This mural took 6 days to paint. It is 8' by 24'.

I find that some people are nervous about commissioning a mural, afraid that they may not like the finished product or afraid that it will be too expensive. Having the sketches and the written estimate allows the client and I to be on the same page and eliminates any surprises.  I try to make the process as painless as possible, and I will work with you until you are 100% happy. Of the more than 100 murals I have completed, I have never had a customer that was less than thrilled with their finished mural.  

Here I am at work on a 8' X12' canvas. I used this backdrop at a trade expo for interior designers.

Above is four different ideas and the finished mural.

The client liked this composition but wanted a different color scheme. It took about a week to paint the room.

Here you can see two slightly different ideas worked out on paper. I drew out several ideas for this mural, but these are the two that I did in color. Notice how I account for furniture and objects pertaining to the space  with my sketches.

The first step in the creation of a mural begins with meeting the client. I like to see the space and discuss ideas. I try to get as much information as possible, and then, I give a verbal quote.  

If the verbal quote is agreed upon, I then determine if sketches need to be done.  If so, I take a nonrefundable sketch fee of $100 as a deposit, which goes toward the total cost of the mural. When I finish the sketches, I then give them to the client with a written estimate.  

My written estimates are based on the total amount of time and supplies needed to paint the mural. The time I spend on the sketches is also calculated into the written estimates, so if I have to create multiple sets of sketches, there will be a new written estimate for each new set. 

 With good sketches and references, I can usually breeze right through the painting process. Clients are often surprised at how little time it takes for me to paint the mural, which is a good thing for the client because I charge by the hour.

I usually paint my murals with latex paint, yet sometimes I work with oil paint. I prefer water based paints simply because clean up is easy, and the paint dries quickly.
