Mural Requests And Guidelines

 

Mural Pricing: I charge from $30 and up per square foot with a minimum of 16 square feet. The price is based on the wall size and texture, location, level of detail in the design, mural type, such as wall mural, ceiling or dome mural, outdoor mural, etc. Murals with intricate detail and texture in clothing, accessories, skin, fur, etc., have a higher price point per square foot. Mural costs are also determined by the project’s size. Each project is unique and different, and I would love to meet with you to discuss all the aspects to get a better idea of your vision. For new project inquiries, please send a message to cindyoaksmillerartstudio@gmail.com

Estimate: We will discuss your project via messaging or in person. If we discuss via messaging, I will need images with the area to be painted (from afar and close-ups), accurate size specifications, and an accurate description of the site. Ideally, it is best to meet and discuss your project on site. I have to see the walls/areas to be painted and give you some tips on preparing them for the mural. As soon as I have a clear idea about your project, I can send you a price estimate.

Contract Agreement and Proposal: When the estimate is approved, I will send you a written Proposal along with a Contract Agreement – you will have to sign both and mail back (or e-mail a scanned version with your signature).  If you require a design for your project, I will also send you an invoice for the design payment. Once I receive both the contract and payment, I will begin working on the design and schedule for your project.  If you have an existing image to paint from and you do not require a design, a 50% deposit will be required to get started. See more in Mural Deposit.

 

Design and Design Deposit: Depending on your project, I may require some time for research.  Then, I would develop a few versions of concept designs with as much detail as possible. You may request to make changes at no cost one time before painting of the mural begins. If you wish to have further changes, a pre-discussed hourly rate will apply. After the design is approved, you will sign a copy, send along the 50% deposit and signed contract, and I will begin working on the mural.   

Mural Deposit: A deposit of 50% is required ten business days prior to the beginning of painting services. This gives me enough time to order necessary supplies, ensure that surface to be painted is ready, and confirm the project timeline with you.

Painting and Sealing: If you require that I work evening/night hours due to your location, an extra fee of 10-25% will apply, depending on distance and other variables. If the project is set outdoors, I may have to work very early in the morning or late afternoon due to sun exposure. Some outdoor projects are challenging to complete within a certain timeline if it rains frequently. You can visit the mural site anytime to see the painting process. I will be happy to discuss any details with you. When the mural is complete and I have your approval, I will seal it with the appropriate varnish. We will discuss various options together.

Final Payment: I will send you an invoice for the remaining balance around ten business days before project completion, and the final balance will be due no later than ten business days after the sealing process is completed
