the value of north light - No. 19

Studio lighting today and north light’s peculiar value

In response to Jack

QUESTION:Another question I have had is, to what extent do you think that the aesthetics and craft you practice and describe are linked to the creation of new north light studios, and the continued maintenance of current ones? I always notice that photographs of art classes in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century invariably are taking place in studios with large north-facing windows. Can you talk about the current state of north light studios? JACK
