Thanks Michele, I checked out the site and it looks interesting, my friend may actually have everything that I need. I wasn't sure what a softbox was and was ready to start a search. You've saved me precious time.
Marvin, I've done all my reference photos in natural light. Every photo I've taken indoors has sucked due to my lack of knowledge of photography in general and trying to learn both photography and a new camera with bells and whistles. Now I feel a little more comfortable with the camera, so ready to try "artificial" light. Since this is a portfolio piece and Clea is available to model I'll also be painting from life. Guess I'll have to move to Delft or Luxemborg and take Clea with me. I'd rather practice with a friend than a paying client. I want that soft glow that I saw in the movie and in Vermeer's paintings. Time to do a search on Vermeer. I'll check out the thread on his techniques here in the forum.
Steven, Thanks for the link, I've bookmarked it and will cjeck it out further. On the cheap sounds good to me.
Jean
