About

Hi there! I’m Kirsty - an illustrator based in the Southwest region of WA. I work predominantly in Watercolour and have a passion for capturing the character of people. I enjoy learning new and innovative ways to stretch my illustration practice, and will engage in ongoing idea development in my sketchbooks - my favourite place to be!

FAQ

How many portraits can you create in an hour?

Each portrait of one person may take me about 7-8 minutes to complete. If I have a couple who want a portrait together, it can take around 15 minutes to complete.

What happens if the requests for portraits gets busy?

I will usually begin to work off photos until the que settles down. As I usually have an assistant with me, we're able to navigate busy times of the day and make sure it all runs smoothly.

How long does it take for you to set up?

I usually allow 40 minutes to set up for the day. I usually allow 20 minutes to set down, as it doesn't take as long.

Do you offer packages for specific illustrations of the day?

Yes, I offer the ability to order bespoke illustrations of the day; whether that be of the Bridesmaids, the Groomsmen, a family portrait, a favourite teacup used, your wedding shoes... anything that you would like to immortalise through an illustration I can do.
I work from photos after the day, which the couple will usually send to me.

How are you able to work so quickly?

I love people and I love drawing them. I've spent several years drawing people from life when out and about, and I've taken part in challenges to build up my sketching skills. After spending time drawing and painting people almost every day, I now have the ability to capture the human form

in little time.

WOW!! The most amazing day got even better when Kirsty captured our guests in her beautiful, detailed, timeless illustrations! She was so wonderful in the lead up, during and after. I even commissioned her to preserve my bouquet in a piece. Overall what Kirsty does is a perfect way to save memories of the day, my husband and I HIGHLY recommend!

For anyone wanting something unique, sentimental and creative at their wedding, Kirsty is your girl! Kirsty’s water colour portraits of our loved ones was a highlight of our wedding. It made our wedding so unique and magical, kept our guests entertained all night and also gave our guests a really special keepsake to take home with them. It’s been so lovely visiting our friends and family and seeing their portraits framed and displayed around their homes. We love love love love love the portrait of us as well and can’t wait to find the perfect place to display it proudly in our home! Our guests absolutely loved their portraits and we received so many compliments on the portraits all night and after the wedding too. Kirsty was so popular that we asked her to extend her time with us by an extra hour on the night and also asked her to complete some portraits post-wedding as we didn’t want anyone to miss out! Kirsty was super accomodating and flexible to our requests. Her packages are also so beautifully wrapped and presented, it felt like Christmas when it arrived. Lastly and most importantly, Kirsty and her assistant were warm, kind, easygoing and professional. I can’t express how lovely, sweet and thoughtful Kirsty is, and above all, how incredibly talented she is - the little details she captures in her portraits is incredible. She pours her heart into her art, and you can really see it in each beautiful portrait. I’m so grateful that I stumbled across her offering on social media! We also found Kirsty was very reasonably priced for what she delivered and worth every penny! Thanks again for making our wedding so special, Kirsty!

We had local artist Kirsty Wyatt painting guests live at our wedding. Everybody loved the experience as well as the final artwork. Many have even sent me photos of them framed on their walls. She is so sweet and easy to work with. You won’t regret booking her. She honestly was one of our favourite parts of the wedding and we are so grateful to have these beautiful art pieces as unique mementos of our special day xx
