Any mural artist here?
How do you charge for your work?

Back story:
For a local ma and pa mexican restaurant, I painted a huge mural.... 10ft tall by 25ft long. I told her before I did it it was my first one and we could talk about commission after ( I had doubts) but I blew it away, it was 90 hours at least, but there's no way to know how much longer it took to figure poo poo out. It was really my first painting besides wine and canvas. Yes, I know. she really believed in me.

She paid me 300 prior for a large chalk board mural behind the bar.

I got paid 8k for a ''mural'' that was just done digitally and printed out at 2m x 8m.
