==How To Add A Painting To The Database==

Do you have an artistic soul? Did you look at the dozens of scrawled penises on the [[Art_Gallery|gallery]] wall and think: "Hey, I could do better than that"? Your prayers have been answered! Here is everything you need to know to ensure that your pixel art will be preserved in the /tg/station database until the sun explodes.

# Get a canvas. Some spawn in the library, but they can also be crafted from [[Guide_to_construction#Cloth|cloth]].
# Get some [[General_items#Crayon|crayons]] or a spraycan. Remember that with a spraycan, you can paint with all the colors of the RGB spectrum; a must have for any serious artist.
# While holding your tool of choice, left-click on the canvas to begin painting your masterpiece.
# Click "Finish" to finalize your painting, and give it a creative, thought-provoking title. You can also sign it, if you're a clout-chasing poser.
# Pick the "Collection" in which you want your painting to belong: Public, Secure, or Private. Note that not every station will have all three options. The collection you choose will affect where your painting will spawn. Public frames are usually the most numerous. Secure frames are usually behind glass. Private frames are located in the curator's office, or in a discreet location.
# Place the painting into one of the roundstart frames. If all the roundstart frames are occupied, you can remove a painting using wirecutters. Crafting your own painting frame and putting it on a wall won't save your painting.
# Ensure that your painting doesn't get removed from its frame before the shift ends.
# Voila! If your painting is in its frame at the end of the shift, it will be permanently saved to the database, and will have a chance of appearing the gallery in future rounds!
