William,
Thank you for the reply.
I understand how this would be incredible lighting for the model. Sorry if I wasn't clear at first.
I was confused as to whether the entire room needed to be this dark, or just the area or corner where the model poses.
Your canvas shouldn't sit in a well-lit area of the room?
I believe from your explanation that yes, the entire room would be rather dark. This explains the need for supplemental lighting on the canvas.
I still think my perception of colors would be distorted.
I guess I'll just have to try it!
Some day, when I'm doing a portrait other than my usual posthumous. Or when I can get a similar model to pose for reference shots.
And if you live nearby I'll be coming to see your studio.
Thank you.
Cheryl
