Thanks Patricia and Mischa,

I haven't tried using the artificial light set up, but I would think that it would be particularly important to get a good white balance measurement given that lights have such a variation in temperature. The grey card method should be a good fix for this. This should hold true for subjects as well. Taking this measurement gets a bit more combersome when you're on the fly and out of the confines of a studio space, but I find that it is worth it whenever you can manage it. .

How's your new studio in Florida?
I have a nice space in my apartment. It's what they call here in Florida a lanai (probably other places as well). Some are only screened in but I opted for the fully enclosed variety.

The sketch is of my nephew. I've always wanted to try and do an oil sketch on raw linen. I've always liked the look of raw linen, so I took a standard primed Fredrix linen canvas and had it reversed. Then I applied Liquitex clear gesso and gave it a go.
