For an artist’s studio, the best solution is full-spectrum light, which is now available in both incandescent and full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs such as those produced by Ott-Lite. The critical part of building a studio is to have northern light, but if that is not possible, use multi-directional lamps, with full-spectrum light to get natural results.
Setting up a studio means setting the mood of paintings, so that you may enjoy bright, non-glare light that blends with daylight and gives you true color rendition for creating new compositions. For example, a component that is essential for setting up a still life is true saturated light and the additional of a highlight source with a neutral wall color. This makes the studio environment colors read correctly. With the right lights, your studio will give you years of productivity.
