Lighting Basics

In the same way that the artist uses his or her relationship with light in a painting or photograph, so we too can develop a keen awareness of light in our homes and how it relates to our art. Unlike seeing art in a museum or gallery, at home we see our art in a series of different lights at different times of the day, or seasons, though changing weather or even in artificial light. We can enhance or affect the art with good lighting and detract from it by unsympathetic lighting.
Natural Light – also known as available light is the source of daylight we have in our homes

Lighting Systems – Lighting that is too harsh or over-bright can be tiring – you don’t want or need to replicate museum or gallery lighting.

Ways To Light – A leading light specialist suggests that there are essentially four ways to light a painting: spotlight, uplight, picture light, and framing projector
