Correct answer Nancy OShea

It's a nice watercolor painting.  But the rough paper texture could pose problems for you. The texture could be flagged as image moiré. For this reason, I recommend using smooth, hot press paper for paintings that you plan to digitize.  Smooth paper produces better results on screen.

 

Also zoom in and crop out the borders.  Adobe Stock prefers images without frames or vignettes.

Hope that helps.

Buyers can easily add a texture to the asset, but they can't remove it, if needed.

Was this painting rejected? It's nice, but as we are not moderators and we can't predict if it will be accepted or not. You may be asked to submit a property release to verify that it is your personal artwork.
