See photo... is this standard preparation for a mosaic glass splash back in the bathroom?

The wall was freshly painted.

Will this need now to be skimmed or can the tiles be applied immediately to this surface with some good adhesive? Is a mesh of some sort required for alignment?

The tiles are going to be just the width of of the sink and to the top of the ledge (basically the top of the photo).

What do you suggest the next steps are, so whoever takes this job on, I know does a really really good job and how much should I consider paying?

Cheers.

Haha, a tiler, but I was just wondering -- is this best practice? Couldn't see any reference to it on any forum or YouTube. Seems like they skim then apply to an ultra flat surface.
 
Seems like sensible advice. Unfortunately, I doubt if any of that took place. I'll upload photos so you can give me your honest feedback of the work.
