Hand-painted watercolour illustrations of places and people worth framing.

Welcome to Roolou Illustrates, where meaningful places, people and moments are transformed into hand-painted watercolour artwork.

As a watercolour artist specialising in bespoke commissions, I create house portraits, wedding venue illustrations, live wedding illustrations and personalised artwork inspired by the people, places and moments that matter most. Every piece is painted by hand with care and attention to the smallest detail.

Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, moving into a new home, marking an anniversary or searching for a thoughtful gift, every illustration is designed to capture the wonderful memories that make each place or person truly special.

Why commission a bespoke watercolour illustration?

Some places deserve more than a photograph. Whether it’s the house you grew up in, the venue where you got married or the pub where your family has celebrated for years, a hand-painted illustration transforms those memories into a keepsake to treasure for years to come.

Live Event Illustration

Capturing moments as they unfold

I create live watercolour illustrations during weddings and events, painting your guests, special moments and beautiful details as your celebration unfolds. Each illustration becomes a unique keepsake for your guests to take home. A favour that won’t be left behind on the tables.

“I’m absolutely thrilled with the artwork Rach created for me - it completely exceeded my expectations! She captured every tiny detail so perfectly, with such care and precision, and even the silly little car I asked for looks incredible. You can really see the love and talent poured into every part of the piece. It’s vibrant, full of personality, and exactly what I’d hoped for (and more). I couldn’t be happier - thank you so much, Rach!”
