Prepare before you start#

A listing takes about 10 minutes once you have everything ready. Gather these first:

Have ready

Good photos: the full work, a close-up of the surface, the signature, and the back or edges
A tape measure: width, height, and depth in inches
A scale: the artwork's own weight in kilograms, without packaging
The year you made it, and whether it's signed, framed, and comes with a certificate of authenticity
Your price in pesos

How many pieces you can list

The Free plan allows 10 listings, Basic allows 50, and Pro is unlimited. See plans.

Start a new listing#

Go to DashboardArtworks
On a phone, the dashboard sections are behind the Menu button at the top of any dashboard page.
Tap List new artwork
The form has three steps shown at the top: Details & pricing, Specifications, and Images. You can tap a step to jump back to it at any time.

Step 1: Details & pricing#

Field	What to enter
TitleRequired	The work's name. Keep it short and specific, e.g. “Morning Tide, Batangas”.
DescriptionRequired	What the piece is about, the materials and technique, and the story behind it. Up to 4,000 characters.
CategoryOptional	The kind of work, such as Painting or Sculpture. Collectors filter by this.
MediumRequired	What it's made with, such as Acrylic or Oil. Collectors filter by this too.
TagsOptional	Up to 12 words, separated by commas. For example: landscape, abstract, cebu.
Price (₱)Required	In whole pesos. The minimum is ₱100. Shipping is added on top at checkout, so don't include it.

Step 1 of the listing form, Artwork details, filled in with a title, description, Painting as the category, Acrylic as the medium, and tags

The Pricing and shipping box with a price of 100 pesos and the note that Obramaestra's commission is 15% and you'll receive about 85 pesos — Under the price, the form shows roughly what you'll receive.

What you'll take home

Obramaestra keeps 15% of the price on every plan. You keep 85%, plus the full shipping fee the buyer pays. A ₱10,000 piece pays you ₱8,500 plus shipping. See how that compares in what each platform pays you per sale.

Tap Next: Specifications.

Step 2: Specifications#

Field	What to enter
Width (in)Required	Measured across the front, including the frame if it's framed.
Height (in)Required	Measured top to bottom, including the frame if it's framed.
Depth (in)Required	The thickness of the canvas edge, frame, or panel. For sculpture, front to back.
Weight (kg)Required	The artwork itself. Don't weigh the box. We add packaging weight automatically.
Year createdRequired	The year you finished the piece.
ConditionOptional	Mint, Excellent, Good, or Fair.
EditionOptional	Always “1 of 1 (original)”. You can't change it.
Signed / Framed / Certificate of AuthenticityOptional	Tick each one that applies. Buyers see them on the listing.

Size and weight set the shipping fee

The buyer's shipping fee is calculated from these numbers and the distance between you. That fee is final for the buyer. If the courier charges more at drop-off because the measurements were too low, you pay the difference. Measure carefully.

Tap Next: Images.

Step 2 of the listing form, Specifications, with width, height, depth, weight and year filled in, condition set to Mint, and Signed and Certificate of Authenticity ticked

Step 3: Images#

Upload your photos
Drag photos into the box or tap to choose them. The long edge must be at least 500px, and each file can be up to 15MB.
Add alt text to every photo
Alt text is a short description of what's in the photo, e.g. “Close-up of the signature, lower right corner”. It helps collectors who use screen readers and helps your work show up in search. You can't publish until every photo has some.
Choose your cover photo and order
The first photo is the one collectors see in browse results and on shared links. Make it the full, straight-on view.
Decide on the watermark (optional)
Tick Apply diagonal watermark to full-detail images to protect the zoomed-in views from being copied.
Try an AI room render (optional)
Under AI room render, describe a room and get a realistic preview of your artwork hanging in it. Your artwork itself is never altered, only the room around it. If you like the result, add it to the listing. You get 5 renders a month on Free, 25 on Basic, and 50 on Pro.

Photo tips that sell

Shoot in natural daylight, near a window
Hold the camera straight on so the edges are square
Show the texture, signature, and back
Include a photo of the work on a wall for scale

Don't

Use flash (it causes glare on paint and glass)
Add filters that change the colors
Crop off the edges of the work
Use photos of a different, similar piece

Step 3 of the listing form, Images, with one uploaded photo marked Primary and its alt text, the watermark option, the AI room render box, and the Publish button highlighted — One photo uploaded and marked Primary. Add up to 8.

Save a draft or publish#

At the bottom of the form you have two choices:

Button	What it does
Save draft	Saves everything privately. Only you can see it. Finish it later from Dashboard › Artworks.
Publish	Makes the listing public right away. Collectors can find it, message you about it, and buy it.

Publishing checks that you've filled in every required field, uploaded at least one photo, and added alt text to each photo.

Before you move on

The price is right, and doesn't include shipping
Width, height, depth, and weight are measured, not guessed
The cover photo is a clean, straight-on shot
You've opened the public listing and checked how it looks

Edit a listing and its status#

To change a listing, go to DashboardArtworks, tap Edit next to the piece, make your changes, and tap Update.

The Your artworks list showing the test piece as a Draft at 100 pesos, with its Edit button highlighted

Every listing has one of these statuses. You set the first two; the other two are set for you.

Status	What it means
Draft	Private. Only you can see it. You set this with Save draft, or Unpublish on a live listing.
Published	Public and for sale. You set this with Publish.
Reserved	On hold, for example while a sale somewhere else is being finalized. Collectors can see it but can't buy it. Only the Obramaestra team can set this.
Sold	Set automatically when a collector pays for it on Obramaestra, or by our team if it sold elsewhere. It stays on your profile as part of your portfolio, but it can't be bought again.

Take a listing down, or put it back up

Open the listing from DashboardArtworks and tap Edit
Tap Unpublish, then confirm
The listing becomes a draft. It disappears from your profile and from Browse, and nobody can buy it. Any changes you made on the form are saved too.
To put it back up, open it again and tap Publish on the Images step
Your followers aren't notified a second time when you republish a piece.

Sold it outside Obramaestra?

Unpublishing hides a piece, but it doesn't mark it sold. You can't mark a listing Sold or Reserved yourself. Email support@obramaestra.art right away with the artwork's name, and we'll mark it for you. Until then it stays for sale, and if a collector pays for a piece you no longer have, the order has to be refunded.

Sold work still helps you

A sold piece shows a Request commission button, so collectors who missed it can ask you for something similar.

Common questions#

Can I list prints or a series of the same image?

No. Every listing must be a single physical original. Prints, editions, and reproductions aren't allowed.

Can I sell the same piece somewhere else at the same time?

You can, but you can't mark it Sold or Reserved yourself. The moment it sells or a sale is pending elsewhere, email support@obramaestra.art and we'll mark it for you. If a collector pays for a piece you no longer have, the order has to be refunded.

My piece is longer than 59 inches. Can I still list it?

Yes, but email support@obramaestra.art before you ship it. Parcel couriers have size limits, so we'll work out the right approach with you.
