Hi from Portugal,
This is my first time here at your webspot.
What a great paintings!

As I was reading about studio lighting and thought to share that I use a solution that works for me.
I use a blue color correcting light filter.
Its a blue transparencie, kind of hard cellophane and very easy to use.
You simply clip the filter on the reflector of your lamp, obviously between the lamps and your work and close to the lamps.
Thats it.
It works like north light and you can see accurate colors.
You can also make some adjustments like double the filtering if you see the light still too yellow and you can use a brighter light if the double filtering afects the brightness.
Its that simple and it works, at least for me.
Hope this can help.

[...] Marc Dalessio has a rather fabulous post (2, actually) about both natural lights in the studio on his blog. http://www.marcdalessio.com/studio-lighting-part-i-natural-light/ Don’t forget to check out part 2 also, on electric lights. http://www.marcdalessio.com/studio-lighting-part-ii-artificial-light/ [...]

What a great idea, Marc. You could try looking here for your diffuser, as used in the TV/movie industry.
