Lighting paintings for photos
Chris,
Great advice. I would like to add a few things and that is the angle of the light from the canvas and the distance of the lights.
It is actually better to have the lights slightly less then 45 degrees from the canvas angle. It is very common that 45 degrees is used but many times I find that it is slightly better to have the lights at 35 degrees to avoid glare. Also place the lights about 6 feet away from the edge of the canvas. If the lights are too close you will get hot spots.
