Diffuser?
Clayton, in the article it says you have a diffuser over the tray of flourescent light tubes. What kind of diffuser? When I went to Home Depot to look at the light trays, some had clear . . I imagine it was textured plexiglass, and some had a diffused acrylic covering. I was afraid that particular covering would alter the color, it looked to have a yellow tint, but then again was standing in Home Depot and didn't have the best circumstances to judge the light output from the sample lights.
We talk a lot about lighting the model, but sufficient light needs to be on my canvas and palette too, right? I've always heard it should be the same light. I don't think I'll be able to position my easel to catch as much north light as the model will get, the room just isn't that big. How do you suggest I light the room? A bank of these tubes up on the ceiling, but not too bright that it disrupts my shadow patterns on the model? thank you!
