Ready to Share your
Watercolors with the World?
At this point, you have some paintings under your belt and are excited to
share your work with others. Maybe you feel a little nervous or unsure if your
paintings are “good enough”? Let me assure you right now- they are! It is time
to take another step in your watercolor journey; here we will explore a few
platforms that can help you to share your work.

Popular Art Sharing Platforms
Facebook- Many people nowadays have a Facebook account where they
keep in touch with family and friends. This can be a great place to share your
art in a couple different ways. The first being with family and friends through
regular posts. The second being to watercolor groups that you join. I recommend
World Watercolor Group. This is a worldwide community in which people share
watercolors they have created- along with tutorials and tips they find helpful.
Often, fellow artists (of all different levels), will offer supportive comments
and advice on posts.
Instagram- This platform is more visually based, and is great
option for opening up your work to a wider audience with tags. Example
#watercolor. People will have the option to follow you and make comments. Some
artists choose to list information about buying paintings on their Instagram
accounts, either through direct messaging or by providing a link to their
personal website or Etsy account.
Etsy- I will start by letting you know that I am only in the beginning stages of using etsy. Some of my friends sell their
art this way and seem satisfied with the process. The platform is set-up in a
manner to make uploading/selling/shipping products easy for both the buyer and
seller. I will be updating this portion as I gain more hands-on experience with the platform.
