Lighting

Lighting is very important when painting miniatures. Personally I use a two bulb shop light that you can pick up from any DIY shop such as Lowes or Home Depot. I use 2 daylight bulbs because they give off a blue white light. I don't use sunlight or soft white because the light is either too yellow or unnatural. I make sure the light is positioned directly overhead and just slightly behind my work area. Doing so prevents artificial shadows from appearing on the miniature while I am painting.
