How was a mural born?

Have you ever wondered how a mural was born? Where does it start, and how is it finally formed?

Let me tell you about my working method.

at home

It all starts with a new customer. The client contacts me via WhatsApp. He says that soon they will have a daughter, and they have prepared a room for her. They painted the room pink, and they want a professional painter to paint a mural that suits the newborn baby.
I ask the client: "What style would you like me to draw?" Is there a particular character you would like?”
The customer replies: "We have some ideas in the pictures, we haven't decided exactly yet."
I say: "Please send me the photos you are debating between, and we will decide together on a painting."
The client sends the pictures, and we decide together on a figure that the client chose for us to paint in the room, and in this case the figure is a swan with flowers.
We agree on a price, set a day for me to come to paint, and ask him to prepare the room so I can start painting:
Let him move all the furniture that touches the walls, and print the picture he wants me to draw.

the customer's home

The day comes, I go to the client's house, with all my equipment: acrylic paints, brushes, pencils, nylons, and palettes.
When I get to the room where I will paint, I first spread nylons on the floor, so that the floor does not get dirty from the paint (I work very clean and it almost never happens that there are drops on the floor, but I put the nylons just to be safe so that not a single drop liquefies).
After I have laid out the nylons, I choose the wall that is most suitable in the room for painting so that it is visible enough without the interruption of furniture.
Then, I draw in pencil the sketch that will make up the painting itself, and after I am satisfied enough with how the sketch looks, I start painting with acrylic paints.
I can finish a whole mural within a working day, I work very concentrated without breaks.
In the middle of the work, or towards the end, I ask the client what other things he would like to change in the painting, or to continue with the same mindset.
After I finish, the client brings his whole family to show the painting, everyone is very satisfied and happy.
The customer says he will give my phone to more people and recommend me.
