I'm like you. My studio has two windows that face South and East so I get plenty of sunlight. I also have a center light fixture with Daylight LED and some recessed lights that are yellowish. I also don't like to do art at night. If I do, I will draw/sketch/charcoal and not paint. Thanks.
I work in a bedroom of our house. It has fairly large north-facing windows, but I find that unless I work on a table in front of the window, I am casting shadows onto my paintings as I work on them. I put really strong bulbs in the overhead light fixture - same problem. I am having to work in my own shadow. The solution may be to work on the side walls and put all the storage on the back wall, opposite the windows. Not sure. Anyway, good subject! Thanks.
I'm using a combination of natural light from a large window and a "shop light" style fixture that instead of having fluorescent tubes have strips of daylight/colour balanced LEDs. Hung the light fixture from the ceiling over the top of the window and it throws light very nicely over my easel and taboret. The brand name is something like Lights of America and I found it at Walmart. Sometimes I paint well into the night and the LEDs make that possible. None of my other lights worked as well.
I thought I responded to this. But I really appreciate you letting me know! They were working fine for years and suddenly they stopped working. We are in the process of swapping them out but there are over 200 videos so it will take a little bit of time. Again I really really appreciate your letting me know!

Hello good advice here. Is it normal that your Instagram and Twitter links don't go anywhere ?
