details. As you can see it is not easy to light a fine painting
well. You need to consider how to cover the entire canvas
evenly at the right intensity, not too bright, in the right
colour temperature and with the highest colour rendition
possible. All these points together will bring out the
texture and rich colours in the artwork. Only when fine
art is lit correctly can you truly fully appreciate it.
So many clients have told me that although they had
looked at a painting for years, had never noticed a feature
in the painting such as an animal, a facial expression, or
some other hidden gem until it was lit well. This happens
all the time and that is why it is so important to light your
art correctly. Being able to see all those finer details within
your painting will make you appreciate it even more.

You don’t have to use art lights to light your art, but if you
do, make sure you consider all these points.
