Helping Clients Better Visualize a Mural Project




We all know that murals can be quite the investment, and clients should have a great understanding of what you're going to create for them before they sign on the dotted line. This not only protects the artist, but also the client since both parties knows what's going to be delivered.

I've found that taking an actual picture of the room or wall, then placing the sketches within the photo and using past projects can be a great visualization for the client, and it's fun too! It's a sneak peak to what can happen and the beginning to a master piece!

Here's a sample sketch for a chalkboard wall with slated stones and wood for a small engine shop... I'm already excited, and it's only a quick sketch!

Your goal is to generalize the feel for the mural. Since these are inicial sketches, let your client then determine what direction they want to go in.

Love this idea. We usually present the sketches, but I love your idea to place the sketch on the wall in the existing space. What kind of software or program do you use?
