New on watermediagallery.com – Give/Take art supplies

January 25, 2026 / Diann Zimmerman

Got extra art supplies gathering dust?

Let them spark joy in someone else’s hands. Watermediagallery.com has a new Art Supply Share feature that makes it easy to pass along used or extra materials to artists who could use a little boost.

It’s simple:

  • You list the supplies you’re ready to give
  • Another artist claims them
  • They only cover the postage
  • Creativity keeps flowing

This is how we build a kinder, more connected art world — one brush, one palette, one generous gesture at a time.   Artists helping artists. Always.

If you’ve got supplies to share, follow these steps:  

  1. Create account: https://watermediagallery.com/giveaway-supplies/

  2. Click to register as a donor, then be sure you subscribe as an Art Supply Donor (free account, only to give away supplies)

  3. Add your PayPal info so you get paid for postage

  4. On your dashboard, add a “new product”

  5. In the TITLE field describe what you’re giving away. Add “US only” or whatever country you reside. This is important for import/export reasons.

  6. Product type:  Simple 

  7. Category:  Choose Giveaway Supplies in the drop down

  8. Add 0 (zero) in the price field

  9. Enter Short Description in text box (make sure to include shipping from your country only to avoid expensive postage)
  10. Add more details in Description if you’d like.
  11. Check the box “Enable product stock management” and add 1 to stock quantity! This is so important! This way only 1 person will pay for postage!

  12. Scroll down to Shipping and Tax.   Add weight, height, width, length. Always add an inch or 2 to the dimensions and ensure you include the weight so you are adequately reimbursed without postage due.

  13. Be certain to hit SAVE at the bottom right of your screen every time you edit. Otherwise edits will not be saved.

  14. When it is published, you will see your link towards the top of the product next to Permalink.  Share that link on your social media.
