I've heard many stories from artists, particularly back before the advent of color corrected lights, who worked all night to finish a painting, under artificial lighting, and were horrified to see their results the following morning, in the light of day. Also, wouldn't this require you lugging your computer and monitor outside as well?

This makes sense, but we had one of those lovely early spring days and it was just so tempting to just roll out on the deck - since I use a laptop the computer was not a big deal.
I haven't been able to get accustomed to working with oil under artificial light. I think I have them hung incorrectly, or it's my old age eyes. I'll have to re -read this and see what I am doing wrong!
