Hashtags

Art hashtags for Instagram

Art hashtags on Instagram have to be specific, because #art is huge and most posts under it are lost in seconds. Naming the medium, the style or the tradition, such as watercolour or Madhubani, reaches people who really look for that work.

Hashtags for digital art

Digital art posts sit next to an endless stream of illustrations, so a general tag rarely helps. Naming the style or what the piece is, such as a character sheet or a background, lets fellow artists and clients find it.

Hashtags for drawing

Drawing tags are packed with school assignments, sketchbook pages and professional work all at once. Narrow tags for the tool and the subject, like charcoal portraits or pencil shading, help the right viewers discover your page.

Using these hashtags well

Tag the medium and the subject
#watercolorpainting with #botanicalpainting narrows the audience to people who want exactly that. A lone #art gives you no such focus.
Show the process too
Time-lapse clips and studio shots attract viewers who follow makers, and tags like #artprocess tell them what to expect.
Use tradition names with care
If your work follows a folk style, credit the tradition in the caption and use its proper tag. Followers of the form notice.

Questions

Which hashtags suit Indian folk art?

Use the exact style name, for example #madhubaniart or #warlipainting, along with #folkartindia. Specific names reach collectors and learners of that form.

Should I tag every artwork with the same set?

Change them by medium and subject. A watercolour sky and an abstract canvas attract different viewers.
