Yes, Peter, what you see there is a soft box. I don't normally use it to light models whom I intend to paint from life. I usually use natural light and/or full spectrum fluorescent bulbs for that. In this case I wanted a very warm light on her so I used the soft box with a 250w bulb rated at 3200k.
Michele, give it a try. I found it to be a most rewarding experience and I am sure it will work great for still life painting. It wasn't as challenging as I had envisioned -- it actually made the work easier. BTW, those brushes are not so much new as they are well cared for. I take good care of mee brushes.
