Do you paint murals?
Updated: Jul 10
So you've got a blank wall and you are thinking, you know what would be the COOLEST?
A mural.
I agree! Murals are transformative, and I must warn you, addictive. I painted my first wall in June 2022 and I was HOOKED. I've been painting since I was 19, which is about 20 years.
So while I certainly wasn't new to holding a paintbrush, painting on a wall? That's a whole new and awesome challenge!
Not sure where to start? I got you!
Measure your wall. Height and Width, feet is preferred. Most standard interior walls are about 8' x 10', so I'll use that example in this exercise.
Determine square feet. The math for that is: 8 x 10 = 80. Bam! You've got 80 square feet.
Take pictures of the space.
What's the texture of your wall? This is important as some textures take longer - brick, big grooves or stucco with big holes in it all add the that amount of paint and time needed.

How much does a mural cost?
Generally, I charge based on square footage. I have two tiers of pricing.
Tier 1 is an illustrative or graphic design, with a simplistic color scheme.
For a very simple design I generally charge $20 per square feet. Here are some examples of Tier 1 pricing:
Tier 2
For a detailed project (very realistic with lots of color) I charge $25 per square feet. Blending and changing colors takes much more time, which is the reason for the cost.
This does not include (some) materials or tax (on labor only - I am a registered business so I do have to do that ghastly thing each April, boo!)
The materials cost is based on how complex the design is. A gallon of paint these days is about $52. A quart is about $20 colors. For example, if you have a design with 4 colors that require a pint each and 1 gallon of paint that's $132.
I'd love to hire you!
A mural is personal to you. It doesn't have to be complicated but it does require a bit of planning on the front end. Because it is custom to YOU! That's the fun part! There is a one time design fee of $175 that goes towards your overall cost. This process involves creating a design specific for your space and vision. We chat about what you're looking for and I create mock-ups and a final renderending for your custom mural.
