Answer: 1 week
Explanation: 100 square feet painted in a weeks time is an average calculation based on a moderate amount of detail X the square footage. A clean and simple logo tog this size is about 3 days of work and an extremely detailed mural could take between 200-300% more time, especially if there are several people integrated into the design.

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.

Talin Tropic Studio
ProMatcher
Answer: 3 weeks
Explanation: Depending on the detail and where it is, for instance, I did a mural 12ft x 14 ft but it was 12 ft off the ground so a double scaffold was needed. It took me 3 weeks even though it wasn't as detailed as some of my projects. The logistics of the project slowed me down. A 10 x 10 on the ground can take just as long or longer if there is a lot of detail.
