Yeah, the problem I have is that the times I get to paint are usually late at night. I'm forced to use artificial light. I use blue-filter bulbs to help reduce the warmth but it's still not the same as natural light. Any recommendations on how to produce a more natural lighting environment without spending a lot?

I'm a bit confused by what you're saying here. Do you mean if I paint under cool lighting conditions?

Edit note: Yes so sorry, that's what I meant
