Should I treat oil paintings as flat or textured? Do photos of oil paintings typically use flat lighting, or do you try to throw a bit of a shadow?
I do not have a budget at the moment. If the equipment ends up being too expensive, I will rent. So please advise me without (much) consideration of cost.
Thank you!
