Lighting Your Art Studio

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Lighting your art studio with a lighting system that suits your practice and method for working is so important. I go over what kind of lighting I prefer, how you might choose your lighting depending on the time of day you work, and lighting your space on a budget.
Question: How do you light your studio?
I prefer natural light, and I am lucky to have big windows.
0:16 Some people prefer artificial lighting like LEDs or fluorescents because they can control the lighting, especially if they're at their studios at different times of the day.
1:30 I recommend using daylight balance/correction bulbs and bringing your own painting and seeing how it looks under the light.
1:40 I use a combination of the fluorescent fixtures that came with my studio and the LED track lights. Overall, during the day my studio is lit best due to not using too much artificial lighting.
2:15 If you're on a budget or renting a space or painting from your home or apartment, you can use lighting fixtures with a plug instead of hardwiring lighting into your space.

    I'm like you. My studio has two windows that face South and East so I get plenty of sunlight. I also have a center light fixture with Daylight LED and some recessed lights that are yellowish. I also don't like to do art at night. If I do, I will draw/sketch/charcoal and not paint. Thanks.

    I work in a bedroom of our house. It has fairly large north-facing windows, but I find that unless I work on a table in front of the window, I am casting shadows onto my paintings as I work on them. I put really strong bulbs in the overhead light fixture - same problem. I am having to work in my own shadow. The solution may be to work on the side walls and put all the storage on the back wall, opposite the windows. Not sure. Anyway, good subject! Thanks.

    I'm using a combination of natural light from a large window and a "shop light" style fixture that instead of having fluorescent tubes have strips of daylight/colour balanced LEDs. Hung the light fixture from the ceiling over the top of the window and it throws light very nicely over my easel and taboret. The brand name is something like Lights of America and I found it at Walmart. Sometimes I paint well into the night and the LEDs make that possible. None of my other lights worked as well.

    Hello good advice here. Is it normal that your Instagram and Twitter links don't go anywhere ?

    I thought I responded to this. But I really appreciate you letting me know! They were working fine for years and suddenly they stopped working. We are in the process of swapping them out but there are over 200 videos so it will take a little bit of time. Again I really really appreciate your letting me know!
