In your own words, describe what you see in the work. What style/technique has been used? Must be at least 2 paragraphs. Use art terminology. Describe thoroughly. Don't copy of the internet. Whoever does it correctly will get 50 points. I put `10 here so people don't write random stuff and get 50 points. Focus on the element shape but also include other elements.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but unless you can articulately describe it, the average person won’t buy it.

When selling your art, the verbal description is just as important as the visuals. Thorough, thought provoking descriptions are an essential piece of the selling puzzle. These descriptions tell the average person more about the piece.

Supposing you studied art and its history in a formal setting, then you probably learned the proper way to describe your artwork. Mainly, the visual elements including form, composition, medium, techniques, and subject matter.

Unfortunately, these formal descriptions don’t translate well for the average person. They’ll understand very little about your artwork which won’t translate well for you in terms of sales.

Describe your artwork as if you were talking to someone who couldn’t see it.

Describe the mood of your artwork as well as the visual characteristics.
