Commissions
Custom Commissioned Artwork
Welcome to Lily Cain Studio’s Commissions page, where your unique vision is brought to life through custom artwork. Whether you’re looking for a personalized watercolor painting or a meaningful illustration, I’m here to collaborate with you every step of the way. Each commission is an opportunity to tell your story through art, transforming cherished memories and ideas into original pieces that capture the beauty of the natural world and the personal significance behind your request. Let’s work together to create something truly special.
Tailored Artwork for Your Vision
When you commission artwork at Lily Cain Studio, the process is entirely collaborative. I begin by discussing your concept with you, exploring what size and style (whether loose or more realistic) best suits your vision. From there, we work together to refine the details, ensuring that every aspect of the piece feels personal to you. Whether you’re drawn to the intricate details of botanicals, the fluidity of watercolor techniques, or the delicate precision of ink drawings, I’ll help you bring your idea to life with a piece that is tailored specifically to your tastes. Commissions start at $300, and framing options are available, though they may be limited due to size and shipping considerations.
Watercolor Painting Commissions: Bringing Nature to Life
One of the most popular requests at Lily Cain Studio is for custom watercolor painting commissions. My work is deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the botanical wildlands in the American West and my coastal home. Many clients are drawn to the way I capture the intricate patterns and vibrant colors of plants, flowers, and insects in watercolor. If you have a specific flower, plant, or natural element that holds personal meaning, we can incorporate it into your commissioned piece.
Unique Collaborations: Custom Ukuleles
In addition to watercolor commissions, I also offer something truly special for music lovers — a collaboration with John Kinnard, a talented luthier based in California. Together, we create custom ukuleles where I add intricate ink and quill narratives to his beautifully crafted instruments. These ukuleles are not just musical instruments but works of art, personalized with a story or concept that reflects the owner’s personality and passion. This collaboration is perfect for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind gift or heirloom piece, where music and visual art meet in a meaningful way.
Black and White Commissions: Logos, Line Art, and More
For those seeking something a little different, I also take commissions for black-and-white ink drawings. These commissions often include logos, tattoo line art, and product labels. Each of these comes with a digitizing package for an additional $150, making it easy for you to use the artwork in digital formats. Whether it’s a logo for your business or custom artwork for personal use, I bring the same attention to detail and creativity to each project. These commissions are versatile and tailored to fit your unique needs.
Creating Memories Through Art: Flowers, Homes, and Special Requests
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of creating art that commemorates life’s most important moments. Whether it’s a painting of a wedding bouquet, a detailed drawing of a family home, or a special request like a bear drawing for a private family commission, I love helping clients preserve their memories through art. If you have a specific idea in mind, no matter how simple or intricate, I would love to hear about it. Together, we can create something that speaks to your experiences, your memories, and your story.
