This article will discuss tips for posting art on Instagram, how to make your art instantly pop on Instagram, and some extra goodies you can do to promote your work.

Be original

Keep in mind that while everyone has a right to post their work on Instagram, don't copy or plagiarize other people's work and post it as your own. It's considered theft and you'll be quickly deleted from Instagram.

The more original your post is the more likely it that your post will go viral and potentially get viewed and shared by thousands of followers.

Create a unique caption and utilize hashtags. Instagram allows its users to create hashtags on their posts and other users can follow specific hashtags which will allow them to see other people's pictures.

Don't be a passive participant

You can't just take pictures of a canvas and post them. There are hundreds of accounts that do this and it is annoying to see all these pictures of the same painting being posted on a daily basis.

Make your own post with something unique. Show other people the process that you used to make your picture and get a following of people that appreciate your hard work.

The Instagram community is not a fake bubble where everyone has to take pictures of the same painting.

People want to see what your process was like, your technique, how much of your own artwork you have hanging in your house, how you've created a unique canvas.

Get in the mood

A lot of people don't think about the camera when they do art but that is a huge mistake. How can you be an artist if you don't think about the composition of your images?

Think about where your viewer is standing, what they are wearing, the position they are looking from and the lighting in the room.

You don't have to be artistic to do something with your photos. You can't just have them be a list of colors or a mess of pixels. Use simple effects in your photos to bring out the color and emotion of your scene.

Don't use distractions

On Instagram people tend to only post the best of the best on their pages, and that's fine. But don't post endless pages of a painting, then ten seconds later the same picture with the same type of post.

Get creative. Use your own post to promote your art but don't post ten pictures of the same painting every time you upload a new picture.

This can be tiring for people to scroll through if they have to look at a repeat. Most people will look at one of your posts and that's all they'll want to see. The same goes for followers.

Greatly involve your audience

The main rule for this technique is to get your viewers involved in the art-making. Try it with your viewers as well as your own Instagram feed.

When you post an art piece, make sure you link it to your Instagram handle and ask your followers to tag their own pictures and their own opinions.

Use visual references to start your art

Once you get the idea of using hashtags and creating visuals and adding your own photos to a piece, it will be a lot easier to draw inspiration from photos and still come up with the actual art piece.

You should also try to make the image you create really unique. If you really want to work with specific artists, get their permission before you copy their artwork.

Try multiplying photos

The next tip is to try to make one photo look like it has thousands of pieces in it. This can be done with many different techniques.

You can make it look like you’re seeing the objects from a bird’s-eye view by drawing a lot of different views and post them on the same post. It will make the image look really big and interesting.

It will also make you stand out in the sea of other photos on the post.

Use a "Picasso Effect" in your artwork

Another technique is using a Picasso effect. This is when you draw a line through several images and overlay them on top of each other.

This is very popular in Instagram art and can be used to create a whole image or make one very large. The line used can look like it is creating different shapes, but it is all drawing a line.

Try to find inspiration from artists around you

Some of the art you can create on Instagram is very different from your own ideas and it will take a lot of inspiration and creativity to come up with something that your followers would love.

This doesn’t mean that you have to only use art from your own Instagram. There are a lot of people who love to look at art from all different backgrounds.

Try to find an artist whose work you really like. It will help you find inspiration and also makes you stand out from the crowd.

Find a unique viewing spot on Instagram

Once you have found a gallery or a view that you really like, you can try to make your own version of it on Instagram. To begin with, you can take the photo and draw an outline of the whole view on top of it to see how big it will be.

Make sure it is big enough so that you can see it clearly, but not so big that it is difficult to see. You can also try to create a different version of the photo by adding other different elements like trees or another person.

This is a great way to make your audience really involved with your Instagram.

A unique art piece will give you a great opportunity to show off your creative side and make people take a closer look at your Instagram.

Whether you’re using hashtags, photos of a special view, or a Picasso effect, try to use the best visual effects to make your Instagram unique and make your followers really interested in it.
