Top Five Reasons Why You Should Use a Professional Artist Muralist For Your Murals

Let's start with the word 'professional' - what does it mean to you? If you do your hair or if you do not feel well you are going to visit a 'professional'... and I guess this tells you already that whatever you want to do you need a "professional". Same works in the area of mural art.

There are many amateur muralists and the difference between a professional and an amateur is huge. A professional mural artist is someone who knows his job very well. You can find a good professional artist by recommendation or by reading reviews and checking on muralists' portfolios.

Here are the top five reasons why you should use a professional:

You shall approach a professional mural artist because he has a rich background in fine arts and has a degree in art - Bachelors and/or Master's. Having a degree in art means that the artist is familiar with important notions that will be applied to your mural project - design, composition, scale, proportion, perspective, color to name just a few.You need a professional mural artist because he/she is familiar with other artists and other artistic and cultural styles. This means that per your request, the mural artist will be able to provide a variety of options and introduce you to the various artists and their styles, to various cultures and their styles so you can familiarize yourself and choose your subject with ease. When you pay money for an artwork like a mural, you should make sure to get well informed about the subject, content and how the mural was created. Eventually you will feel proud to communicate these to your family and friends.You want to work with a professional artist (muralist) because he/she has attained a style and has gained good reputation and recognition through some important projects in the art field - exhibitions, articles about the artist, publications by the artist, mural projects and mural preparatory designs.You will enjoy working with a professional because he/she has very good skills in drawing and painting and demonstrates mastery in sketching ideas for you quickly and clearly. A professional can create two types of sketches a.k.a. designs - quick designs and more elaborate ones. A quick design will give you an idea about the subject and the artist can create it during the first or second consultation. However, if you decide on a more detailed work in color, a more elaborate sketch will be needed and usually this will be at an additional cost depending on the time spent on it.You have to hire a professional because he/she has a rich portfolio with a variety of subjects, published works, works created in public places (you can visit these places yourself) collaborations with other artists, good reviews, etc. If you find it difficult to distinguish between an amateur and a professional mural artist, visit a museum or a local art show, and talk to other artists.I am a professional artist and educator. My portfolio consists of hand-painted public and residential murals in various styles, most of them located in South Florida. I am versed in both representational (realistic) and abstract art, and I am always looking forward to projects that challenge my thinking in generating original ideas. Most of my murals are painted in naturalistic style, using the trompe l'oeil effects (from French "to trick the eye".) http://www.muralsbygeorgeta.com/ Rate this Article
