Categorizing Your Work

Last Updated: December 26, 2024 ​​

 

Not sure how to categorize your artwork? Please use the following guide to categorize your uploaded work accurately. While we understand that categories can feel limiting, they are essential to help our buyers find artwork they're interested in. Please follow these category guidelines carefully. Just as with the limited selection of mediums and materials, we intentionally only have these categories to help make artwork more searchable. 

​

The Painting category is for artwork made entirely of paint on a surface. Paintings can be created with a variety of tools (brushes, palette knife, roller, the human body, or various other objects) on a variety of materials (canvas, paper, wood, etc.). Works in this category should not include digital material, textiles, wax, found objects, printmaking techniques, etc.

​

Drawings are works created with physical materials, usually a pen, pencil, marker, ink, charcoal, crayon, etc. Like painting, Drawings are primarily two-dimensional and are artworks on a single surface.
