How to Light Your Art Studio

Thank you so much!! I've been struggling with lighting since we moved and I'm so excited to finally get everything lit correctly!!

Thank you!

I love it when someone explains something important in a very simple way. Ive seen a few videos about lighting, but this one really does it well. I'm looking out for some cheap lighting options and this information is going to really help. Thank you, John

А круговые лампы, у них же вроде сразу рассеянный свет.

Thanks so much for your lighting ideas. What Fovitec light or lighting product do you suggest for a beginner who is painting on an easel? Thanks in advance.

more kelvin is hotter, not cooler

Dining room—that's me. Overhead dim chandelier—flunk. Have one adjustable clamp-on lamp with a "natural light" incandescent bulb. It either glares off my flat work surface, or leaves areas in shadow. Dark colors all look the same. Frustrating. Not a big space to work in either. Maybe two of these lamps? Maybe adjust the wattage? Definitely the biggest challenge. Thanks for the very helpful info.

This information is super valuable, I can make a more conscious investment
and take advantage of my online classes

thank you very much sir! 🕊

your video is full of useful information

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the clear and clean information!

Could you also use a couple of lights that has a diffuser to get the correct lighting?

This is very helpful; I'm still struggling with proper lighting in my studio. So, am I to understand that the total temperature of all the lights in my studio should add up to about, 5000K? my room is 16' x 18' with about 8' celling, and one window, I think it's a south facing window. Thanks :)

Awesome video cleared many of my doubts! One quick question though, when I am filming my art on flat surface I still have glare issues even if I have set up my LED panels (from Neewer) at 45degree angel as shown in your video. Is there any distance and height at which the lights should be placed from the table? If so then how much should that be. It would be of much help if you let me know this. Thank you !!

Fantastic information, grateful!

This was very helpful, thank you for the clear breakdown. :)

Thanks for the clear instruction! Quick question: where did you get that value scale?

The CFL bullbs you listed were 3500k.. I thought we were meant to be aiming for 5000k?

Thanks so much!! Excellent!

Really good

Hi there! Is your value scale atop a sheet of black paper or dark gray paper? Also, thanks for creating this video. It has helped me so much! I just purchased the lights, stands, etc. and am excitingly figuring it all out!

Thanks for your amazing videos

Thank you 🙏

I draw in darkness.
something is soaking up the light. I'd swear to it.

Hi there. Thanks for the information on such an allusive subject. I love the light panels and would like to know what "brand" the ones you show in the video are. Maybe you could list a few "models" to look into.

Thank you sir.

Thanks for sharing these! I have a tiltable drawing desk and am going nuts looking for the right lighting. Your video helped a lot in clarifying what I should look for - thanks!

does it matter if the shape of the bulb is ring shaped or a straight tube? will it affect the amount of light hitting the art piece?

Thank you Matt really useful

Thank you this is very useful

This video was incredible. Thank you!! Just what I was looking for.

Do u mean that ring light are not good while I am working on a painting ?

This was so informative, thank you so much 😫🙏🏼

As a physics undergrad, hearing the phrase "Kelvin degree" makes me want to throw up

Hi .. im not finding 5000 kelvin light for my art studio in india , is there any alternative for that , i have 6500 k bulbs but that temperature is slightly cooler side how to fix this problem .plz help

Answered clearly and concisely every question I had about lighting. Thank you

What are your thoughts on ring lights for color pencil artist??

Thank you for making this very educational video. I learned a lot of new information. Definitely subscribing!

Thanks for explaining.

Hi, great guide thank you! I currently look for a suitable light for my little work room and have a question about CFLs lamps. I get a feeling that they spread the light more like wave than a constant light. Don't know really if it is my feeling or it is real? It's a kind of disturbing to my eyes. Many years ago when these lamps came to market they were known as low energy consuming and typically light up slowly in the beginning. Is there any way to know more about it? Any specific expression or word I can google and learn?

This is amazing thanks

Is the led panel bright enough for painting (if yes what is the right distance to get 1500-2000 lux at the painting surface)? Thanks

Very clear and informative. But as a hobby painter/crafter I don't know if I can invest in a LED panel (def not two) but I gives me some ideas on what other solutions t look out for

Is 6000k good

VERY INFORMATIVE! Thankyou sooo much! 💕💕💕

Thank you. This sure helps.

what if i work on table and have only one light ?

Nice and very informative 👏

what silver drop light is that? i liked it
