HOW TO COMMISSION A MURAL OR A LARGE SCALE PAINTING
MURAL CONCEPT OF “CELEBRATION” SHOWN WITH ADDED STORAGE SPACES
FINDING THE LOCATION AND PLACEMENT:
IT CAN BE IN AN OFFICE, SHOP, BOUTIQUE, DEPARTMENT STORE, PRIVATE
RESIDENCE OR A PRODUCTION FACILITY, ETC.
SELECTING THE CONCEPT AND IMAGERY:
I CAN DRAW UP A PRELIMINARY CONCEPT SKETCH BASED ON OR INSPIRED BY
YOUR IDEAS, VISIONS, COLOR STYLE, SIZE AND PRICE PREFERANCES - WE CAN
ADJUST IT TO FIT PERTINENT CRITERIA BASED ON A PRIORITY LIST.
THINK: STORYLINE, AMBIENCE, MESSAGE, COMPANY LOGO, THE SPIRIT OF THE
PLACE, MAYBE A NON FIGURATIVE OR ABSTRACT LOOK. YOU NAME IT.
IMAGERY CAN BE BASED ON PHOTOS, STYLISTIC REFERENCES OR FANTASY - I AM
HERE TO HELP IN ALL THE PHASES OF A PROJECT - SO IT WILL BE EASY & FUN.
I HAVE SEVERAL PORTEFOLIOS OF PREVIOUS WORK YOU CAN USE AS A VISUAL
STARTING POINT TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF YOUR NEW MURAL OR PAINTING.
PRELIMINARY BLACK AND WHITE SKETCHES CAN BE DRAWN TO ANY SCALE
SELECTING THE MATERIALS:
I CAN ASSIST YOU IN PICKING THE RIGHT MEDIUM LIKE ACRYLIC, OIL OR MIXED
MEDIA - THEN WE CAN FIND THE BEST SUITED PAINTS. MAYBE YOU HAVE A
PREFERENCE FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIALS OR YOU ARE
SEEKING A SPECIFIC FINISHED LOOK. I PAINT ON NEW OR EXISTING WALLS,
CANVAS OR VARIOUS PANELS - TOGETHER WE FIND THE BEST SOLUTION FOR
YOUR PROJECT.

2. PAINTED ON LOCATION OR IN MY STUDIO:
IN ORDER TO AVOID DISTURBING YOUR DAILY ROUTINE I CAN CREATE THE
ARTWORK ON EITHER PANELS OR ON CANVAS AND IT CAN EITHER BE INSTALLED
ON EVENINGS OR WEEK-ENDS WHEN IT IS CONVENIENT FOR YOUR WORK
SCHEDULE. I CAN ALSO CREATE THE ARTWORK DIRECTLY IN THE ENVIRONMENT
IT IS DESIGNED FOR, EVEN DIRECTLY ON THE WALLS - I CAN ALSO INCORPORATE
RELEVANT FEED BACK FROM END USERS.
FOR LARGER OR VERY ELABORATE PROJECTS I CAN SET UP A TEMPORARY STUDIO
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE END DESTINATION LOCATION OF THE ARTWORK.
HERE IS THE CONCEPT SKETCH “CELEBRATION” IN FULL COLOR
INCORPORATING THE CONTEXTUAL SURROUNDINGS:
IF THE PAINTING/MURAL IS FEATURING A CUSTOM 3-DIMENSIONAL FRAME OR YOU
WANT TO ADD OTHER CREATIVE ELEMENTS LIKE STORAGE SPACES FOR FILING
CABINETS, CLOSETS, BOOK CASES, ETC, I CAN BUILD MOST MYSELF OR HELP WITH
DESIGN AND DIRECT YOU SELECT THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR FOR THE JOB IF
NEEDED. WE CAN MATCH YOUR CURRENT BUILDINGS STYLE OR CREATE A NEW
VISUAL CONTRAST IN A COMPLEMENTING STYLE.
SPECIAL REQUESTS:
IF NEEDED I CAN WORK WITH ONE OR MORE ASSISTANTS, COLABORATE WITH
OTHER SPECIALIZED ARTISTS OR IF YOU NEED CUSTOM FRAMING, WOODWORK,
STUCCO, PLASTER, STONEWORK, VARIOUS METALWORKS INCLUDING STERLING
SILVER AND 24-K GOLD ELEMENTS I CAN INCORPORATE THAT AS WELL.
PAYMENT:
DEPENDING ON LOCATION, SIZE, WALL-CONDITION, DEGREE OF DETAILS, ETC.
PAYMENT IS USUALLY MADE IN STAGES FOR LARGER MURALS: ONE 40% PAYMENT
ON THE ACCEPTANCE AND APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT, 30% HALF WAY STAGE
PAYMENT AND 30% ON COMPLETION - OTHER PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE
MADE BY AGREEMENT - INCLUDING TRAVEL, TRANSPORTATION ETC.
NOTE:
YOU CAN ALSO CALL ME WITH A FIXED BUDGET AND I CAN WORK WITHIN THAT.
