What Does A Mural Cost                          
Mural Cost is determined by the square footage of a wall and the number of walls / ceilings +plus the estimated time to completion +plus sales tax. The artist quotes reasonable prices and assures clients how long the creative process may take. 

The artist estimates the time to finish the project. If the project takes longer by the artist then there is no additional costs. If the project does not take as long as originally estimated than there is a discount on the invoice bill.

Generally prices range up to $12 a square foot, depending on the sized and quantity of the jobs. After a deposit, the remaining balance up to $1,000.00 is due upon completion of work and clean-up is finished. A request is made that projects over $1,000.00 be paid in two to three installments (bi-weekly or monthly) after the deposit. Balance may be paid with Cash, Check or Paypal accounts.

Deposits of $100.00 TO 1/3 (whichever is greater) of the total estimate is preferred by CITY LINE ART before work begins when the legal binding contract is signed. Deposits may be made with Cash, Check or Paypal accounts. Any artist mistakes will be incurred by the artist and no additional cost will be incurred by the customer.

 

 

 

 What is a mural?                                     
A mural is a painting of artistic expression painted directly on an alternative surface other than canvas, such as an interior or exterior wall or other surface. Generally, murals are not framed. Indoor murals are most commonly painted using acrylic. But also, latex and oils (generally in plaster as it dries faster) can be used. A mural can also be painted on canvas or other surface and then installed onto a wall.

[Mid-16th century. Via French from Latin muralis , from murus “wall” (source also of English immure).]

 How much time does it take to create a mural?   
A mural can take anywhere from one week for a small mural to one month for a wall or a room to 6 months for very large walls or other projects.

City Line Art artists enjoy seeing the process unveil from the first consultation of a new project to the planning and work to the finishing touches. A sketch of the idea or project is presented to you, the client, and then the process begins after approval of the concept. 

The artist prefers to work with an empty room, hallway or at least an area where the furniture has been removed from the area of work.  Also, there is no problem with working around customers or residents of nursing facilities.  Being personable and comfortable around others is a fun part of the process.

 How is the mural protected?                      
Our goal is to brighten the world with any wall we can paint on! CITY LINE ART protects the artwork with two layers of matte finish glaze. This glaze dries in less than one hour depending on the humidity in the air.The wall or ceiling, etc. may be washed with warm soapy water to clean with no harm to the artwork.
