Frequently Asked Questions How Do I Commission a Mural or Fine Art Painting? Call me or send an email with an overview of your project.   We will discuss your project and if appropriate we will meet at the future home of the mural or painting. I will then produce rough sketches as applicable. Once we've settled on an idea I will provide you with a written proposal. How Do You Charge for Your Services? On Site Mural & Fine Art Consultations: First hour free, then $50/hour Minimum Mural or Fine Art Commission: $500.00 Mural and Fine Art projects are contracted for a flat total fee.   This fee includes all labor, travel, equipment and materials.  Projects vary too greatly to give reference prices. Depending on the size or complexity of the project I sometimes must charge design fees. Color Consulting: Color Consultations within 50 miles of my Studio (23130) are $100 for 1st hour, then $50 for each additional hour. Additional driving beyond 50 miles will be billed at $50/hour. You should be prepared for the consultation to take one hour per room - although it may take less time depending on how many color choices are needed. Once we have discussed your project and color options you should purchase sample pots or quarts of paint and test them on your walls. This allows you to live with your selections for a few days seeing them in different lighting conditions throughout the day and evening. The final decision is yours. Can you help me with other Decorating Decisions? Many of my paint color consultations turn to discussions about carpets, tiles, furniture, etc. I am happy to guide you in the hard choices that tie your whole look together. Decor Consultation fees: same as Color Consultations.  **All sketches, renderings, paint samples, etc. remain my property.
