"Painting for Indoors?" Topic

Do you consciously adjust your painting, knowing that your games will primarily be played indoors rather than in full sunlight? So that you might favor brighter colors or lighter highlights.

No, I do not.

Thanks.

No. I paint indoors and I play indoors.

No, though I did discover that the shades that work for 15mm do not always work for 28 mm when I painted 15mm ACW and 25mm Plains Indian wars cavalry.
For what it's worth, my painting room does not have a northern exposure, which is supposed to give you relatively consistent tone and warmth of light throughout the day.

Rich is right. Scale and (very broadly) period make a difference. But painting light is playing light.

We play indoors and outdoors. Use the same figures for either.

I'm with Rich Bliss -- painting and playing indoors. The closest I've come to playing outdoor was a in a garage with the door open. I didn't notice any difference in how our miniatures looked.

That being said, do you perceive a difference in how paints look under incandescent, LED, and flourescent lighting? The first two are more likely found at home, and the third at a game convention.

You are so quotable!

No.

I paint under similar lights as I use above my gaming tables. I have never played under the Sun, but Sunlight shines through my windows when I game. I do not care about lighting, as long as my figures are painted! Cheers!

All painting and gaming indoors. Even before I lost my leg.

I have recently found I paint better in daylight, now I have retired, and haven't had the awful situation when I only spot errors when I take pics for the blog!!!
