I certainly agree with this bit.
My normal setup is with the art laying on the floor and the camera positioned over it. I light it with four bare strobes positioned at the corners of a virtual 7' cube. It works well for me for keeping things flat and parallel and for providing as much distance as possible between the strobes and the art. For a watercolor on paper that likes to curl (such as my mom is overly fond of using), it's probably ideal, as I can lay framing squares along the edges to hold it down. Doing that on a wall would be...interesting....
I haven't tried to do anything as big as 40" x 60" yet. I doubt my current setup would be ideal for something that size...though I suspect I'd probably keep the basic setup the same and use something other than my tripod to support the camera. It'd mean a lot of repositioning the artwork...perhaps placing it on a dolly for easy repositioning.
Cheers,
