I have photographed thousands of artworks, and would never use full sun lighting. Glad it works for you, though. My view is that it produces glare, overly harsh lighting, and even bad color because the flat art is never normally seen in such lighting. (Washed out darks even when properly exposed). Also, I manually focus each shot and take several photos of each piece. There is always a "best" shot to choose over the others. I use white floods left and right at 45degrees, augmented by room light.

Most of the other tutorials I've found like to shoot in shade. Why do you prefer full sun to shade?

I prefer full sun to shade because shade has blue in it. I get the true colors in the full sun but I get a blue tint added to the painting when I shoot in shade. Thanks for asking. Jay
