✅ 1. Wall Details
Make sure you know the basics about your wall:
- Exact dimensions (width × height)
- Surface type (brick, stucco, drywall, metal, etc.)
- Photos of the wall (front view + context from a distance)
- Is it indoor or outdoor?
- Is the wall clean and primed, or does it need prep?
✅ 2. Project Goals
Define the vision before paint hits the wall:
- What do you want the mural to communicate or represent?
- Is there a theme, mood, or message?
- Do you have any reference images or colors in mind?
- Is there a brand, community, or event it’s tied to?
✅ 3. Timeline & Scheduling
Murals take time — here’s what to prepare for:
- Desired start and end dates
- Flexibility with weather or delays
- Will the mural be painted during business hours or off-hours?
- Do you need permits, HOA approvals, or landlord sign-off?
✅ 4. Budget Basics
Every wall and concept is different, but being upfront helps:
- Do you have a budget range in mind?
- Will you cover materials and lifts/scaffolding, or is that included?
- Do you need multiple design options or mockups?
✅ 5. Site Access & Logistics
Help your artist focus on painting, not hurdles:
- Is there parking and load-in access nearby?
- Can the artist leave gear on-site overnight (if needed)?
- Are there restrooms or facilities nearby?
✅ 6. Legal & Credit
Let’s keep it respectful and collaborative:
- Will the artist be credited (on-site or online)?
- Will you need a formal contract or invoice?
- Are there any copyright or reproduction plans?
💬 Final Tip:
ring your questions! Every mural is a collaboration, and the best results come from clear, creative conversations.
