It was a long time ago I had to reproduce a painting but then I used my LX and 4/100 macro and light from windows facing north - no flash - and a polariser and I remember having to cover some windows and try different positions of the polariser to avoid reflections. Exposures were quite long, no problem with LX. With direct flash reflections are hard to avoid - and you see them only afterwards. The slower the film the better. All the best!
