Descibe your lighting set-up? Where were the light(s) in relation to your model?

-I was using overhead lights angling down onto the subjects.  The light shines down on the right side of their bodys.  However “David’s” body is open so his front is lighten.

 

What, if any problems did you encounter? How did you handle it?

-There weren’t many problems I encountered.  The biggest challenge I found was maneuvering the lighting around to get the lighting that is shown in the painting.
