What should I include when posting about my creative space?

Start simple: one to three photos or a short video of your complete workspace. Don’t overthink it. Show the real mess—the spilled coffee, the cat on your reference photos, the uncapped paint tubes, the homework next to the watercolors. Include detail shots: one corner, specific tools, your gear setup, how you carry supplies. Add personal details that have nothing to do with art technique but everything to do with why you create—like a photo of your grandmother taped to your easel, a specific stain that reminds you of a sold piece, or your jury-rigged lighting system.
