Less is better?
Less light to paint by? What a curious notion you advance, Peggy; and the way you explain does have a logic to it, I grant you.
Frankly, I don't see how a painting that looks fine & true in natural light would suffer in low light; 3D objects don't. The ambience of any given room WILL effect the character of a painting (or any object in that room), no debate, but painting in that type of low light by choice baffles me.
During the time I painted with standard incandescent light at night, and returned to it the following morning, I was often frustrated to see the night-time effort looked false in daylight, but never the reverse.
I'm sorry, but I swear by my OTT light. Would never go back to incandescent or (shudder) florescent light.
