Lighting seems to be a criticle element, which some over look. Flourescent lights fling off a green hue that we don't always detect. Several articles in MR 4 or 5 years ago went into the art of balancing light. lots of blue, some red and white bulbs. Hard on the old electricity bill! I'm now in the process of going to Halogen track lighting, which appears to be a good balanced light, except it can be harsh and create unwanted shadows. <br /> <br />Another thing that my LHS told me about it a colour called mudstone. this is good as it gets for cement wash and makes a good colour for painting bricks and cement rocks. <br /> <br />Again I'm still learning and have along way to go.
