Judith Part Time Professional Self Taught
Biography
As a child Judith was always drawing and excelled in art at school. With an art A-level under her belt, she considered applying for art school but instead opted to study languages, which led to a career in translation. Now, 30 years down the line, she divides her work time between translation and art. Although largely self-taught, she has perfected her skills in watercolour painting with various teachers. For ten years Judith lived in southern France where she developed a passion for sketching in the villages and countryside of the Languedoc. In 2014 she returned to her native north-west England where she is inspired by the rugged moorland landscapes, mills and weaver’s cottages of Saddleworth, contrasted with the architecture and urban environment of Greater Manchester. The strength of her paintings lies in three elements: strong composition, a harmonious palette and a sense of depth and mood conveyed through the way she captures the light. Subjects range from rural landscapes, houses, gardens and village scenes to city streets and industrial buildings. In the past five years, Judith has received a number of commissions for house portraits from clients in France, the Netherlands, Australia and the UK.

Siobhan
I had a great experience working with Judith - communication throughout the process was excellent and I am very pleased with the two paintings I commissioned!
Stefano
I chose Judith to create a painting of my family home as a present and I'm so happy I went with her. She was a pleasure to communicate with and was always clear with how things would proceed, from initial concept sketches right the way through to selecting an appropriate frame. The painting turned out perfectly and I couldn't be happier with the result. I would absolutely recommend Judith for any painting you might have in mind!
Magnus
I commissioned Judith to paint a garden scene (from Peckham Rye, as a wedding present for my sister), and from start to finish it has been an absolute delight working with Judith. She has been incredibly responsive throughout, immensely helpful in finalising the brief (including by suggesting which mediums/ sizes may work best), and kept me wonderfully up to date throughout the whole process (asking for confirmation that i was happy with proposed approach where appropriate). Most importantly, i absolutely LOVE the final watercolour painting, which is truly stunning, and will be enjoyed for many, many years to come!!
Martin
Very easy to work with, responsive, really happy with finished product.
Ellie
Judith’s work was exactly what I was looking for. She worked with me during the whole process and the communication led to the brief being filled exactly. The end result was fantastic. I can’t recommend this artist enough. Thank you Judith!
Grace
From the beginning Judith was so lovely to work with! She has clear and quick communication and was very helpful when I wanted to add in extra details. I liked that she sent a digital sketch so I could review and give feedback before she started painting. I’m very happy with the end result she really brought the painting to life and it looks beautiful!
Rebecca
Judith is wonderful to deal with - very informative through out the whole process and comminication was excellent. We all loved the work she produced for my mum, which had small things on which mean a lot to us all.
Joyce
It was a wonderful process to work with Judith, who was extremely communicative, responsive and open-minded throughout. She provided a digital sketch of the painting and worked with me to make sure I was happy before starting the actual work. We had a few rounds of touch-ups before finalising it too. A stellar experience and painting as a result, and I couldn't recommend Judith more!
Rebecca
The art is stunning and exactly what I wanted! It was a gift for my mum who absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend the artist as she had great creative suggestions, open to my feedback and wants, and a beautiful art style. Thank you so much!
Carlyn
We commissioned a painting for my mum's 60th birthday and asked Judith to paint my family into a scene from multiple photos Judithh worked closely with us to make sure that we were absolutely happy and was super responsive to all comments and requests as we moved through the process. The painting arrived today and it is absolutely beautiful. The colours are really vibrant and all figures are recognisable which was really important to us. The result is something that will be special to us all for a long time to come. Highly recommend Judith and thoroughly enjoyed working with her on this process.
John
Judith took a great deal of time and effort to put together a wonderful watercolour of our home and family for my father’s 70th birthday. Extremely patient and conscientious, she managed to paint from photos and notes and was always so helpful and keen to do whatever she could to make it perfect. She was very attentive to certain details which I wished to be slightly amended. I really appreciate the work she has done and my father is absolutely delighted with the painting. She really captured the essence of our family and home and I would 100% recommend her. Thank you again Judith!
Sarah
Absolutely wonderful - the painting is perfect and exactly as per the brief. Judith did her own research to supplement the images I supplied her, gave brilliant communication throughout and produced an end product that it just wonderful.
PENNY
Excellent in every way! Judith has been a pleasure to work with and has produced a really special piece of artwork for us.
Helen
Judith was very flexible on the brief and had a clear understanding of the type of picture we were trying to achieve. The picture was also completed & delivered pre the delivery date!
Kate
Judith has been exemplary in both her delivery and communication. She has taken us through the whole process step-by-step and produced a wonderful water colour of our villa in Portugal. Thank you Judith. We shall definitely be back in touch soon with another commission! Kate
Christian
Judith recently completed a lovely watercolour of the house that I grew up in. She rendered an instantly recognisable and evocative composition with just the right balance of detail. Judith met a relatively tight deadline and was very good about checking details and preferences as she worked, which included providing me with a sketch before she started painting and then letting me see the work in progress. I had been a little apprehensive that it would be difficult to capture the look and feel of the house working only from photographs, but Judith's work suffered no such limitations. Highly recommended.
Sarah
I'm so thrilled with the painting we received from Judith. It was a watercolour painting of our wedding day so something very personal and special to us. Judith was great at communication and is a really talented artist. The painting came out fantastic, has a gorgeous frame and was delivered in plenty of time for our anniversary. Thanks again for everything! Sarah and Tony
Leigh
Judith was a great communicator from the start. She listened to what we needed and worked very hard to achieve it. A real talent - highly recommended.
MrMrsWathen
Very pleased with the painting and the process, Judith kept us well informed and suggested lots of really good ideas. We are delighted with the final framed painting.
