I'm not quite sure how to explain this, but here's what I was running into. While I was doing the Painting Tutorial, I kept finding myself growing increasingly frustrated as any time I painted, the color of my paint would end up being significantly darker than the color I picked. Bright green would be a dark green, bright red would be practically maroon. I left the tutorial and just tried painting in a blank environment to see if that would help. Same result.
Finally, however, I noticed that the color of my paint strokes changed depending on the angle they were at and realized that my problem was due to the "sun" hitting the paint in different ways.
I'd recommend that, while in paint mode, the environment be unaffected by lights. Or at least have the option as a toggle (if it is one, I haven't found it.) I've tried pointing a spot light at my area of work, but sort of has the reverse effect of making my colors too bright.
Is this something anyone else finds frustrating? What are your recommendations for frustration-free painting?
