Pricing a mural?

[Karin Wells]

Thanks for your valuable info. I will not be hanging the mural myself but I have been worried about studio space. I have a medium sized studio, but am still concerned about having to rent space somewhere.

I assume that a pre-primed acrylic gessoed cotton canvas is best. The shrink/stretch of linen would, in my mind, make it unstable and difficult to attach to a wall.

If I am forced to work in sections, how are the joins made? Overlaping or abutting? It would certainly be easier to work in smaller sections but does that detract from the overall appearance?

Do you have any ballpark figures for a highly detailed square foot price?

A separate design fee is a wonderful idea as that is probably half of the hard work for me.
