Good afternoon guys and gals, I've been approached by someone to paint some artwork on somebodies bedroom wall. Would Acrylics be the best paint to use? and how much would I charge. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I think this topic was covered a while back.can't quite remember where the thread is,I think general consenus was either Acrylic or small trial pots of household colours.
What sobject are you going to do? Sounds like fun.

Hi Wendy, thanks for the tip, They've asked if I can paint a large picture of Bob the Builder on their son's bedroom wall, really looking forward to doing it. Haven't got a clue what to charge though. I've been told a daily rate, but what would I charge per day.

I would try to work out from the size how long it might take me plus cost of materials then divide by an hourly rate. or you could just charge a one set price, at the end of the day it has to be what you feel comfortable with.

You could get a few estimates from other murialists for the size and theme to give a good idea of what the going reate is.

I hope you enjoy it.
