My studio has a south east exposure. I paint from life so the lighting is critical. I also live in the North Eastern USA, so the more light the better.
The light on an overcast day on a southern exposure is exquisite, my favorite. I can almost achieve this effect on a sunny day by filtering the light through a cheap gauze curtain which I velcro to the window frame for quick removal. It really helps to have all the light you need to compensate for all those dark New England days, especially the rainy ones. I use a reflector outside to bounce a little more light in on the really dark ones. I like to paint from 10:30 to 2:30.
