Hi, Ok firstly diffuse the lights--you can use Kodatrace available from Artist/Designer supplies. I would also lower the angle down and out slightly of each light.
Now the trick for even richer tonal saturation -- obtain some sheet Polaroid from your local Pro Cine outlet and polarise each light to eliminate the 'sheen' and enrich the colors. Shoot with a Polarising filter on your camera turning while viewing the Artwork in the Viewfinder. Remember to allow 1.5 to 2 stops exposure compensation.Good Shooting,
Des
