Commissioning a Mural
If
you've never had custom designed work before, you will probably
have questions about how the whole process works. While every
project is different, the project proceeds generally as follows
FIRST: Contact Sherry by Email
or by phone. During the initial conversation I will "get
a feel" for what you have in mind, your input, subject,
size, shape and colors etc…. We will have a "coming
together" of the minds and then the creativity process
can begin.
IF your local … I will visit you and we will have a
consultation…N/C
IF you are out of our area…. The initial conultation
is done via Email,
phone or slow mail.*
CREATIVITY ABOUNDS HERE…
I will present to you an Artist Rendering of your project
as I interpret it. Along with this you will receive an Estimate
Roughly of what I think this project is going to cost you.
The Fee for This is $50.00 (non-refundable). Once we establish
that you like the idea and all changes are made or decided
upon I will prepare a formal Quote detailing Labor and Materials.
If you approve and are ready to proceed a 50% down payment
(non refundable) of the Total on the Quote is required to
schedule your project.
The Fun Part
Drawing and painting! Your floors and finished walls will
be masked off with safe, low-tack masking materials, and the
painting will begin. In some cases you may choose to have
the painting done off-site on canvas and applied as a finished
work. This approach creates quite a different look than a
mural completed directly on the wall surface, but it can significantly
decrease the disruption to your home or business.
Scheduling Sometimes a project
can begin right away; other times there will be a lag-time
or waiting period. If you are opening a shop or business on
a specific date, you will want to get onto the schedule as
soon as possible, even if you are not exactly sure what you
will be having done. It is usually possible to work around
business hours - either late at night, or early in the morning,
for renovating an existing shop. On the scheduled date you're
painting WILL BEGIN!!! When on site jobs are completed the
balance on the Quote is due. A digital photo will be sent
to our out of area clients of your finished painting for your
approval. Any changes will be made and upon approval, your
balance is due and we will ship the painting with instructions
if necessary for installation. Or if installation has been
prearranged our staff will travel and install. "IN STUDIO
" paintings for local clients will be delivered and or
installed on site.
*A Note For Our Out of Town Clients-
Sherry is available to travel to any destination to paint
murals for business and home decor. Please feel free to contact
Sherry with all your Mural and / or painting questions. If
the job location is outside of the greater Cincinnati area
then there will be additional charges for transportation,
or, depending on distance, possibly lodging. Some jobs can
be worked on canvas and shipped, as well.
