Adding new artwork

Here's a brief rundown of what you need to do to add an artwork

Name

This is the title of your artwork.

Brief description

This is a one sentence description of your piece - for example: 'Pen and ink on watercolour paper', or 'Limited edition screenprint'.

Description

Put as much information here as you can about your artwork, to help users gain more understanding about its context. For example if the artwork is a commission, state who it was commissioned by, an overview of the brief, where and when it appeared etc.

Artwork images

These are the images which show off your work – the higher quality the images the better. Upload an uncropped version of your artwork first, then as many cropped versions as you wish to highlight particular details or features. These will be displayed in a slideshow.

Vocabularies

Choose the tags that best describe your artwork. You can select more than one category by holding the shift key. If you need a tag that is not present, email us at hello@illustrato.rs stating what you need and we'll add it to the list.

After the page has reloaded, you'll see a new 'Stock' tab at the top of the page.

Click this tab and fill in the details. In the stock field, enter the quantity that you have. If you're adding an original artwork, for example, the quanitity will be 1. Then, enter the threshold. When the stock quanitity drops below this number, the system will email you to say the stock is low. Lastly, click the Active box to enable stock tracking. Click Save changes.
