Why do artists require north light?
Direct sunlight is extremely bright and results in washed out colors and stark contrasting shadows. Sometimes this lends to the subject or mood of the art. A sunny beach scene with sun glistening onto the shoreline or a morning figure washed in light through a bedroom window are examples of when direct light is king. In contrast when you use indirect light commonly called north light or reflected light the atmosphere is much more controlled. The value shift is more subtle resulting in far greater control over contrast. Colors can be presented in all their subtleties. Light from a north facing window has helped produce some of the greatest paintings in history. If you look at wonderful still life paintings you will see why north light is preferred many times. Vermeer is best known for his north lit room in which many of his paintings were produced.
