Man Descending Escalator

 This mural was custom designed for modern house and is located in an entrance hall and stairway which can be seen from multiple viewpoints. It is hand painted in a photo-realist style using techniques which are not achievable with printed media.

HOW THE MURAL PAINTING PROCESS WORKS?

Initial contact

Please email a brief description of the type of mural or theme you have in mind, as well as measurements and photographs of the wall. It is also useful to have any images of features you would like incorporated into a mural design as well as your location, timescale and budget.

Initial design and design development

A basic design can be created which are sketched, using hand-drawn illustrations and computer design packages, onto photographs of your wall so that you can see exactly how it would look.

Final designs

Feedback from the basic design stage can crystallise your thoughts and ideas which are used to produce a more detailed and edited design. Again, this design can be reviewed, and amendments made to produce a further design. Usually by the third design, clients are happy to proceed, however if your project is particularly complex and needs significantly more design, travel or meeting time we will need to discuss charging for our time.

Proceeding from the design

Once a final design has been confirmed an approximate cost can be provided of which a 10% deposit+ materials will be required, and a start date can be agreed.

Painting of The Mural

The final designed is made to scale so it can be accurately transferred to your wall.

All my hand painted murals are painted with safe non-toxic low odour emulsions.

For internal murals that are situated in heavy traffic locations I use a specialist varnish which offers UV protection and can be wiped clean.

External murals are painted with paints which are showerproof within thirty minutes, have anti-fade technology and superior protection from mould & algae. They also have 15 years of protection (BBA approved).
