Patricia,
I am in the process of changing my own studio. I had a giant west facing roof window/ skylight. But it did not function because of the sun shining in at the end of the day. It is impossible to evaluate values in too bright light.
Therefore I have now removed this skylight and instead I will put in a north light window. I am going to place it above the wall to get the light down in the room. The room includes two store's, it may be called high sealing.
I have experienced that it works fine for me if the light is not too strong, but steady.
So my advise would be to enlarging the two north windows, in the hight, as much as possible and leave out any skylight. That way you can blind the lower parts of the windows to get any lighting you want.
Rembrandt did that.
