I wish I know how I could paint something in warm light and retain that warmth for other lighting conditions

You can't, unless the painting will be seen an even warmer light. When you paint in a warm light, the tendency is to keep compensating for the warm temperatures, and the painting will be way too cool under natural light. If you paint under an incandescent light, you'll overcompensate for the cools, and the painting will be too hot under natural light.

Yeah, the problem I have is that the times I get to paint are usually late at night. I'm forced to use artificial light. I use blue-filter bulbs to help reduce the warmth but it's still not the same as natural light. Any recommendations on how to produce a more natural lighting environment without spending a lot?

I'm a bit confused by what you're saying here. Do you mean if I paint under cool lighting conditions?

Edit note: Yes so sorry, that's what I meant
