large Pastel Portrait
Commission a 12” x 10” / 30 x 25 cm portrait with an optional frame.
Although pricing is stated in UK Sterling, I ship worldwide for free.
Please send a reference photo(s) and any extra information to info@gillianussherart.com. The 12” x 10” size allows for a higher level of detail and for full bodied portraits. There are extra options available in this size such as extra pets and a more detailed background which are priced below.
Pastel is the most popular and most commonly ordered medium. It can offer the same level of realism and character as an oil portrait, but takes far less time to complete making it more affordable. Pastel is especially suited to pet portraits, being delicate enough to capture the finest whips of hair, yet possessing enough depth to portray depth of expression in eyes.
Due to current waiting times, portraits will take 6-8 weeks to complete, if you require it sooner please let me know at time of ordering and I will do my best to accommodate.
There are a few different payment options available. There is the option to pay in full, the portrait will be shipped once you are 100% happy. Another option is to secure your order by placing a 50% deposit. The balance is payable upon completion, before shipping. There is also the option to pay in interest free weekly payments over a period of 10 weeks.
Framing
The framing options listed below are premade, off-the-shelf frames. Please let me know which frame colour you would like at time of ordering. A bespoke framing service is available for an extra cost upon request.

“I commissioned this piece from Gillian as a surprise for my husband. Her professionalism and attention to detail are amazing.
She made sure I was happy with everything and was even able to have it framed before it was shipped. She captured all the aspects that I asked for and I couldn’t be happier with the final product.”

“Gillian did a pastel portrait of my two whippet boys Jim and Eric. I already had a pastel of my greyhound Ernie who Gillian brought back to life with her incredible skill and so when I decided to have another portrait commissioned I knew it has to be Gillian and nobody else.
The attention to detail is second to none and the way she brings the subjects to life is truly amazing. Jim and Eric are sadly no longer with us but thanks to Gillian they’ll always be looking down on us from the wall and I hope to commission another portrait in the near future.”
