Painting is a fun pastime in Heartopia that lets each player express themselves with flowing creativity by designing clothes, artwork, and even furniture patterns. The gallery is one of the most important parts of painting because it contains all of a player's previous creations.

However, some players might be struggling to find the gallery in Heartopia, which not only prevents you from completing certain quests, but will also make it so that you can't view the creative works that you've spent your time creating. In this Heartopia guide, we'll explain how you can view the gallery and browse all your iconic artworks.

To open the gallery in Heartopia, players will need to buy a drawing board. They must then place the drawing board on the ground. It does not matter where you put it, as the gallery can be opened anywhere.

After placing the canvas, stand in front of it. Three icons will appear above the canvas. The left icon lets you start painting, the right icon puts the canvas away, and the middle icon takes you to your gallery.

Once in the gallery, players will have their artwork stored in four sections. The first section contains their canvas paintings; the second has clothing and shoe designs, the third is for furniture design, and the last is labeled Collects.

In the gallery, players can click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of a painting to view a list of settings. These settings allow players to rename, delete, or duplicate the chosen painting.

Making a copy of a painting is a great way to edit it without accidentally messing up your previous work.
