New Studio




Perhaps you could give me some advice - we are adding to our house and I get to have a studio of my own in the new space. I plan to use the Lumachrome lights Marvin has been so happy with. I just don't know where to hang them (light them whole room, light to the side of me, etc.). Also I'm wondering what color the walls should be. I am worried to overlight the room or to give myself glare off the canvas.

I currently work only in the day near two sets of northern sliding glass doors. I've that same light in the new studio, but will now have the chance to light it so to paint in the evening, and have space to have live models, so that of course will change where I have the easel, and how I light the whole room during the day.

Since this is a new room I have carte blanche on where I put the electrical and how. (the ceilings will be vaulted - 10' and slope to 7'.

Any thoughts would really be helpful.

Thanks!
