This is by far the best studio lighting tutorial I’ve seen. I’ve been a plein air painter for 20 years but have been trying to work in a studio for the past year. The lighting is absolutely maddening. This video should really help me get things set up completely. The only thing not really covered was how to avoid glare, which is a huge problem I am having.

What is the lumen for your light bulbs? On most product page they only listed the lumen, no lux. So I wouldn't know before I purchased it. I also tried to look for bulbs with 6500K because I want to match my monitor temperature, but all of those bulbs only came with CRI 80. The CRI 95 bulbs are all between 2700K to 5000K.

😊 you say painting is flat when taken outside ,,, but painting s are hung inside often in rooms with low light ,,, so dose this not mean painting should should be done in light that is similar?? Lower levels of light ?? How many homes have daylight light in them ?😊

FWTW - watts and light levels are virtually unrelated. Lux is the measure of light intensity, as you correctly point out. Watts, are energy, and are only distantly related to light intensity. My kiln, 11,000 watts, is not an effective light source in my garage at night. With the lights off, it does glow, but it would be difficult to read by... Unfortunately, over the last 150 years, we've been told that the wattage of a lightbulb was equivalent to its brightness. Really, people should be looking at lux or lumens. Great video otherwise, my partner will love the soon to be re-lit studio space I'm going to make for her.

Dear Derek, thank you very much for this great, informative and practical video. You said the light should be 1500 - 2000 lux. I can not see "lux" on bulb information instead lumen information is given. Does 1500 -2000 lux countable as almost equal to 1500-2000 lumen for a very small space? I have a very small studio and it is almost impossible to work with natural day light. And these details are very important for me. Thank you again

I use this same technique to feed the squirrels in my backyard. Although it took me months to have a select few that will regularly come and take a nut from my hand. I have a female with one arm missing, probably from a predator attack, who will take from my hand and stay at my feet to eat. We call her mama. Also as mentioned in the video, do not over feed wild animals as it will interfere with their natural foraging instincts. ❤🐿

I heard that the masonite might have oils in it that might come through down the road. Not sure if the gesso would stop it.Have you heard this?

All treated wood runs the risk of impurities. I only gesso one side of the board this reduces the risk as fluids also travel the path of least resistance. Used masonite for over 25 years now and have not had a single issue. Hope that helps 😉
