Lighting

I spend a lot of time thinking about light.

I need to. 

Whether it is taking photographs of artwork or trying to get the right colours on my palette, it's an important element.

I have here my latest commission.

I took this photo next to a patio door.

This photo is in the kitchen very close by but I was able to keep the shine off.

Both were taken in a well lit (natural light) room.

In my studio the lights run warmer and I have small windows letting in very little light.

I have to be careful that cool white bright lights change the colours too much. 

The painting almost looks blue.

So which colour is right?

Technically they all are and none of them.

Photo number 2 is the closest to what the painting would look like in regular lighting.
