After creating a website create own blog which discusses about the artist and their art work. A website usually contains art gallery, web content, contact details, information about you and your artwork. While a blog usually exclusively speaks about the artist and their work, also this section is updated regularly. Blog posts can be between 100 to 400 words and can be uploaded on weekly or daily basis whichever is applicable.
