Does this look familiar? Yep, it's the exact same still life set up. The only difference is the way it was lit. Yesterdays painting was lit with a combination of natural light from a window and, since it is so darn dark here in the northwest during the winter, some artificial light. This still life was lit exclusively with artificial light. I use a special bulb recommended to me by Elizabeth Kincaid. It brings out the most amazing colors. They are Lumiram Chromalux full spectrum bulbs. You can purchase them through Cheap Joe's or Jerry's Artarama.
