Jeff, you may find it helpful next time you are drawing yourself (or anyone else from life) in that space to block out a lot of the natural light coming in.
In Bill Whitaker's class he covered all but two small high windows, shining on each model. The other dozen or so ten foot high windows were covered up.
The windows in the north facing studio Bill chose for the class in the Scottsdale Artists School had blinds that opened from the top down so it was possible to block out all but the top couple of feet of the windows. The ceilings were also 12 feet high.
Bill Whitaker's feeling was that most artists' studios suffer from too much light. Small high light sources (especially north light) are the ideal.
