the mural process
1. The initial meeting
As a first step, I'll either come to your house or business for an obligation-free visit, or will chat to you over the phone to discuss your ideas with you. I'll have a look at the wall or room you'd like your mural on (either in person or at photos).
You may have some definite ideas about what it is you would like in your mural, or you might be looking for me to help you work out the best design to suit you, your family or your business. Depending on the ages of the children, you might want to involve them at this stage and see what their suggestions are.
I'll take some photographs of the area to be painted, and will find out more about when you would like it done, access times, any factors that might influence how long the job will take.

2. Your free sketch
I'll then put together a sketch for you of my ideas, based on our conversations. I'll email or mail the sketch to you to have a think about, and when we speak next you can let me know your thoughts, any changes or further ideas that you've had.
At this stage, if you have any adjustments to the design for your mural, I can change the picture and make sure you'll be happy with your final decor! If you decide to go ahead, the fun bit begins!

3. The mural begins
After setting up and making sure the area is secure from pets and curious hands, the mural begins! I sketch out the mural design on the wall, and then begin blocking out sections of colour and major areas.

4. The scene takes shape
Further details and colour blocks get added to the mural, until the characters are all present and the picture is ready for details to be added

5. Details are added and the mural is finished!
Outlines, faces and other fine detailing are added. This is where the design comes together and looks like your final product!
Your mural is then finished and ready to be enjoyed by your children (and of course you!)
