Incandescent light . . .

. . . can mislead you during the painting, and when your colors are viewed in natural light or other light, they may look too reddish or vivid, because of the yellowing of the incandescent lighting. I have had this happen. When it is evening at my studio at the mall, I have very little other than my plain old incandescent bulbs lighting my pad. The colors sometimes tend to look too bright the next day in the light of the skylights. No problem when I draw during the day, though, with a variety of light sources. Better I think to use a flourescent/incandescent light to begin with so you can tone things down a bit, then risk being too pinkish in other light.
