An incident meter is hands down the way to go. You use tungsten
lighting, turn on the lights, take an incident reading and shoot. Once
you calibrate the exposure, you will use the same studio setup
and won't even have to meter.
It takes alot of work and practice to develop good studio technique.
Paintings would not be too hard since the only major pitfall is
hot spots of light reflections. Sculptures are much harder
because you have to get the lighting just right to get good 3-D modeling.
The only wayto learn this is to study studio photography formally
or apprentice with someone as you'll experiment and get what you
think are good shots, but when you compare them to the shots of
a real pro, they will pale in comparison. It is a real art how
to light a studio photograph.
the movie industry uses high-end selenium incident meters for metering
film sets as they are the most accurate. A reasonably priced one
is the Sekonic L398 (think i got the model # right anyway).
