    I would think that accurate color representation would’ve generally required the bright lights and broad spectrum coverage of sunlight, so I imagine people just…painted during the day, by daylight.

      Except for the cave paintings, that’s exactly the case.

      Oil paint needs for ever to dry anyways (between layers)

    That’s why art studios had only windows letting the north light enter. Roughly same uniform cool light all day.

    Until the invention of the paint tube (and rail) so you could paint outside.
