The technique of the old masters is a natural choice for Judith to conceive her portrait ideas: the richness of different layers of paint, one on top of the other, results in a depth and refinement that she cannot surpass with any other technique. It is therefore the basis of her work. She is, however, also inspired by the impasto technique of later portrait painters, such as Repin, Sargent and Schwartze. To her the challenge is to always find the right balance between these proven techniques and her own painter's touch.
