Artist Commission
Have you ever dreamed of commissioning a painting that’s uniquely yours—a masterpiece where you collaborate with the artist to bring your vision to life?
Imagine owning a piece of art that tells your story in a way no one else’s can. Here are some inspiring ideas for creating your very own commissioned painting:
-
Capture an Unforgettable Journey
Relive the magic of an incredible trip with your loved ones. Picture a scene where you’re all enjoying ice cream on the rocks in Cinque Terre, Italy, or a painting inspired by a breathtaking photo of a place you dream about often.
Whether you’re subtly included in the painting or the focus is solely on the destination, this artwork will transport you back to that cherished memory every time you see it.
-
Celebrate Your Love Story
Surprise your partner with an anniversary painting that reflects your journey together. Imagine a piece that weaves together the places you’ve traveled, your favorite home, your children, pets, a special wine, a beloved song, or any symbols that represent your shared life.
This one-of-a-kind artwork will celebrate your unique bond and all the beautiful memories you’ve created together. (Yes, there will be tears—tears of joy! A gift like this always evokes deep emotion.)
-
Create a Timeless Family Portrait
Commemorate your family with a painting that includes you, your children, and your beloved pets. Customize every detail, from the setting and colors to the symbolic elements that reflect your family’s essence.
The result will be a deeply personal and meaningful work of art that you’ll treasure forever.
How to get started!
-
Get in Touch: To start, simply email me at steph@stephanieclair.com or call 619-757-4999. Share your ideas for the painting, and I’ll help guide you in choosing the size, colors, and pricing that fit your budget.
-
Payment Plan: You don’t have to pay the full amount upfront! I offer a flexible payment plan, where you only need to pay 20% as a deposit, and the remainder can be paid over time or when the painting is complete. Prices range from $1,200 to $15,000 depending on the size and complexity, but I will work with your budget.
-
Creative Discussion & Sketches Once your deposit is received, we’ll discuss your vision for the painting and any personal touches or elements you’d like included. I’ll then create 2-4 sketches based on our conversation, and you’ll choose your favorite. This gives you the opportunity to shape the artwork to your liking before I get started.
-
Creation: Your painting will take 1-4 months to complete, depending on size. If you need the painting by a specific date (such as an anniversary or birthday), let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
-
Final Approval: Once the painting is done, I’ll let you know. You can choose to be surprised with the final piece, or if you prefer, you can view it first and request any changes (though no one has ever been unhappy with their commission!).
- Delivery: If you're located in Washington, I may be able to deliver it to you for free. Otherwise, I offer affordable shipping, with rates between $50-$200 depending on the size and destination.
It’s really one of the most personal fun experiences you will have, I look forward to working together to bring your vision to life!
