    I would also consider your lighting pretty carefully. On color, use the custom white balance function on a few test frames. I would not rely on the auto white balance.

    Goodness no! Shoot RAW, and once the lighting is set up, put a gray card in the spot where the paintings will be and snap a shot. When processing the RAW images, apply a click-white-balance from the gray card to the other images.
