What Makes a Great Art Work in Progress Post?

Artists are always asking me what they should share on social media. I took a few minutes and put together some great work in progress images and videos from Instagram and Facebook.

These are all working artists like you, who give a little bit of an insight and context to their art, and it helps them sell more art. I hope you enjoy them.

    Wonderful! What are some of the ways that people make time lapse videos? Any tips/pointers?
    The painting is done in 2 or 3 sessions right? How do you merge the time lapse videos?

      I’ve used the app Hyperlapse to shoot mine. I like it because it looks more smooth (some seem to skippy/bouncy.) Super easy to do, just set it up.and forget it’s there, work away.

    I take pictures constantly as I make progress on things, and share on IG a lot. I find that FB responds well when I’m actually in the picture with my art.
