Beginner muralist here. How long does it take to finish an 11x3 m mural wall? which paint to use? Self-mix or Pre-mix paints?

I'm not really a muralist but an architecture student which happened to be on vacation and was tasked by a local church to create an interior mural. Since I have no experience of painting large walls, I have several questions which I thought the experience muralists here could give me wisdom on.

  1. What is the estimated completion time for a mural sized at 11x3 meters, with complexity such as this photo (artwork by Phyllis Shafer)?
  2. Since the local church has a limited budget, it's best to be wise in purchasing paint. Is it better to mix my own and create the colors as shown in the photo? (If yes, do u have a recommended line of paint brands and shades? **as far as I know, as long as I have both cool and warm primary colors and white, I can achieve almost any color**) or have them pre-mixed?

Hope someone can answer this. Thank you!!
