The words you give each image tell visitors what they are looking at, and they help people searching the web find your work.
What to write for each image
- Title. The name of the work.
- Size and medium. For example, the dimensions and "oil on canvas".
- A short description. Mention the colours, the subject, the place shown if there is one, and how a buyer might describe the piece to a friend.
More words help. Someone searching for "red barn at sunset" can only find a painting that says so. When Search Engines Show Your Changes explains how long it takes for new words to appear in search results.
You add these when you upload an image; Upload One Image shows where.
Galleries
One image can be in several galleries, so put it in each one a visitor might look in. Add a Gallery shows how to make one.
Some gallery ideas:
- Landscapes
- Florals
- Portraits
- Sold Works
- New Works
- A series, or a year
Choose names a visitor would recognise at a glance.
