Every original is one-of-a-kind — its own canvas, its own frame, its own cost basis — and half of them aren't even in your studio. They're hanging at galleries on consignment splits, out at a café wall, entered in a show. Knowing who holds what, at what split, since when, is the unglamorous heart of selling paintings. MadeKeeper keeps that ledger.

Say you finish a 16" × 20" oil:
It sells at $300 from a gallery at a 50% split: your half is $150.00, and after materials you kept $131.65. Now multiply by a year of shows and splits — that's the number your pricing should be built on.
MadeKeeper keeps your consignment records — who holds what, at what terms, since when — in the app instead of a stack of gallery agreements; several states give consigned art specific protections, and good records are how you use them.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

A piece placed with a gallery logs where it went, the split, and the date. When it sells, the sale records at the gallery's cut, and your net lands on the books. When it comes back unsold, it's back in your inventory — not lost in a spreadsheet.
No. Attribute a fair paint cost per piece and move on — the point is an honest cost basis, not laboratory accounting. Canvas and frames, the real money, log at their receipts.
Yes — portfolio mode lists one-of-a-kind pieces as the individual works they are, marked sold or available, with commissions traceable from deposit to delivery.
