Show a print on a wall, and say it is a mockup
Drop your image into a frame scene so people can imagine the size. Label it as a mockup.
A mockup is a picture of a picture. It helps a buyer. It becomes a problem when it pretends a photo of your studio happened.

How to do it
- 1
Use the file you would actually print
Crop to the aspect ratio of the frame. Do not upscale a tiny web image and call it a large edition.
- 2
Place it in one scene
In Placeit, Mediamodifier, a Canva mockup, or a Photoshop smart-object file, replace the placeholder with your art. Check that the frame does not crop a signature you need.

Look at the light
If the scene's shadow crosses the print in a way that hides the drawing, pick another template. You are not obligated to the first room.

Caption it
Say it is a mockup, and say the size. If you also have a real photo of a real print, prefer that and keep the mockup as a backup.
