Videos must be high resolution (at least 1080p - most phones and tablets will work) and in a horizontal format (think YouTube video, not TikTok). You’ll want to make sure the lighting is bright and the audio is clean. Make sure we can hear you! A microphone isn’t necessary (some of our artists use them, others don’t) but your voice should be loud and clear with minimal background noise. While we like our artists to show their faces in their videos, the painting is the star of the show, so make sure your canvas is squared with your easel and large enough to see clearly. Our production team will add an inset of the finished painting into the video for reference, so you’ll need to leave enough room for that as well. For ideas on how to frame your shot, check out the sample videos by different artists on any of our product pages.
