Explanation: I’ve painted murals this size in 2 days. Of course, they were simple landscape murals, but detail will add more time. One of my largest murals was 30’ x 30’ and it took me 15 days.
Murals by Monica
Answer: 2 weeks
Explanation: I am a professional artist and the type of designs I execute generally take about a week or two if I am working every day. The prep takes longer than the art at times, but a week to 2 weeks at most if I am working on the project every day and I am to seal the art. It depends on the complexity at that point and what surface I am painting on. If it is a mural on natural stone/tile - I work on it from my studio and need to produce many layers... From Prime Etch to Color Seal to C-500 industrial grade poly in the desired finish. Walls sometimes require sealing and I usually recommend it to the client in order to preserve the art.
