If I'm interpreting this right is this is to avoid glare?
Yes, that's right. If you set your painting directly facing the window you will see glare. The problem is that when you do as I have done above you get the light passing across the canvas and can get one side lighter than the other. You have to play with it to get the best situation. I suppose you could reflect some light back onto the painting the way you would your model. As long as you take your preset WB after you get yourself situated you should be OK.

Good luck Terri
