Kim, Leslie, Allan,
Well, I think my instincts are being confirmed. I am going to opt out of the skylight. I was afraid that if I could not control the light I would be running from the glare of strong light.
Allan, this is a townhouse and I have no control over the size of the north facing windows, unfortunately. However, I am pleased that their floor to top window height is at least 5 feet high. With a seated model this may work.
Linda, unfortunately, I think the only life drawing I can do in this 10 x 12 studio will be portrait, but not full figure. I will probably also be attempting portrait photo shoots, but again, not enough room for full figure. I am figuring that if I place a model next to the north facing window I will have a distance between the model and my easel of about 8 feet. Do you think this is enough??
