If your local library has a copy, Kodak's M-1, _Copying and
Duplicating in Black-and-White and Color_, has some good
illustrations of how to light paintings.
Cross polarization is the best way to avoid reflections, but
often you can get by with a sheet of black mat board hung on
your lens, to make a black background except for the lens
itself. Just cut a hole in the mat board that's a slip fit
on the nose of your lens, and hold it on by threading on
your lens hood after mounting the board.
For cheap cross-polarizing lights, American Science &
Surplus often has surplus polarizing sheet material in stock
that can be taped over a strobe or a low-powered lamp shade.
