New finished artwork

Finished artworks are those in which you don't plan to make any additional changes. Those artworks can be sold.

While adding a Finished artwork, you have to add the following details:

• Title
• Description: It can be an artwork idea, the story behind it, or even a quote that provoked you to create an artwork.
• Medium: Select one from the list.
• Images: We require at least three photos for flat artwork and 4 for objects. You can add additional images, too.
• Dimensions: WxHxD in cm
• Factual weight is obligatory for sculptures and ceramics. For flat artworks, we calculate the volumetric weight based on the dimensions of the artwork.
• Materials used
• Year of creation
• Style: Select one from the list. We use it for easy filtering in search.
• Subject: Select one from the list. We use it for easy filtering in search.
• Tags: They are optional. We use them only to improve artwork discoverability in search.

Artwork images

Flat artworks: paintings, drawings, prints etc.

For paintings, drawings, prints, photography, engraving, and collage we require to add photos of:

• Front side of the artwork: A photo of the artwork without any background works best.
• Zoomed details: People love images that show off the details of your artwork.
• The back side of the artwork: Show how artwork is made from the back side; it can be important for the buyer.

Example of artwork photos • Ville seduction by Antoine Alran

Objects: sculptures and ceramics

For three-dimensional artworks like sculptures, ceramics we require at least four photos of the artwork:

• Front side
• Back side or use 4/3 instead
• Left side
• Right side

Example of artwork photos • Tranquility by Denys Shymanskiy

New in-progress artwork

In progress artworks are those that you are creating at the moment. Maybe you just made a first sketch and want to share the future creative process with community. That a great moment to start!

• Title
• Description: It can be an artwork idea, the story behind it, or even a quote that provoked you to create an artwork.
• Medium: Select one from the list.
• Main images: Add one image representing the artwork’s creation process. It can be the photo of you creating the artwork, sketches, references board, or even the mood board. You can change it later.

• Dimensions: WxHxD in cm
• Weight: volumetric or factual, depending on the artwork’s medium
