What is the nature of the artwork?
For example, I would approach the illumination of each of these quite
differently: woodblock carving/print making area
thrown pottery
detailed watercolor
large expressive acrylic painting
jewelry making

Hello All,

We are remodeling our house to add an art studio, 
and I wanted to poll this list of experts.
What are recommended light levels and glare tolerances for creating
artwork?

After a brief search, I'm guessing 400 lux?
I would be using both horizontal and vertical work surfaces

How about glare threshold?
In any given view, would it be 7 times the average luminance level?
"Findglare normally identifies glare sources as directions that are
brighter than 7 times the average luminance level."

I'm thinking of using skylights with a diffusion layer - as was posted
sometime back on this list

thanks in advance!
