Short Tutorial/Demo on putting your artwork onto AtelierKadunc

I would be happy to do a tutorial on putting your artwork onto AtelierKadunc. As we don't seem to be able to connect the computer in the studio to the web, maybe we could arrange something at the Athenaeum Library - meet for a half hour there or some other location.

If we can arrange a time, I would also do a quick tutorial/demo on using Gimp (a version exists on Windows, Mac and Linux) to ready your artwork photos for uploading to AtelierKadunc. I will also happily expound upon how I use Gimp to modify photos for use as reference for art - cropping, removing extraneous stuff, moving things to better locations for improved compositions, and so on.

Let me know and let's set it up.

Putting art photos on AtelierKadunc

Every photo needs: (a heads-up to the poster of 'Mountains High', and everyone else, of course.)

• a title with the name of the artist (e.g. Brilliant Artwork by Les Aldridge)
• to be cropped so only the artwork and not the frame or background shows. Sometime, if requested, I can do a demo of how I use Gimp to edit artwork photos before putting them up.
• labels so people can search the site by artist (to the right of the 'Labels:' box is a blue selection that says something like 'show all labels'. Click that and select 'ALL' and the name of the artist. If your work is in progress, choose 'in_progress' from the label list. Incidentally, the labels can be easily deleted at any time (like if you make a mistake). Just delete the label like text. The labels are just comma-separated names in a list. If you are adding a new name and spell it wrong, please delete the error before adding the correct one. Otherwise, there will be extra labels laying around.
• a caption line specifying the substrate, the medium and the size of the work (e.g. '8x10 oil on canvas').

New header picture.

I did the work on the picture used in the header with the Linux program, Gimp. I put Gary into the picture, removed the easel from in front of Rose and Libby, plus made some minor cleanups here and there. Hope you like it.
