Colors in artificial lighting

[Lesley Grindlay]

I too am having a great deal of troubles painting in artificial lighting. I've tried various palette colours to accommodate lighting, the example was painted from life in front of a mirror. I have an overhead light to light my palette and another lamp to light my face. But it just seems so dark and photographing it is just as challenging. What am I doing wrong?

I do opologise Allan for posting my pic, I didnt mean to intrude on your post.
