I don't mix every color in a painting (and I don't always premix color)-- just a base to start with.

The satsumas are lovely. I love it when they are in season.
Regarding your easel setup, do you have a light clamped onto your easel to give you standard/even direct light? If so, is it a specail bulb? and how do you deal with reflections on the canvas?
I am just curious as I am trying to figure out the best way to set up my space, which seems similar to yours with a large expansive window.

Thank you for the comment. I have lights clamped all around, and adjust them as necessary-- sometimes directly on the palette as well as on the painting surface.
I do use 'daylight' bulbs, and if I get glare on the canvas, I diffuse it by taping some tracing paper in front of the lights.
Hope that answers your question!
