Hiding beneath a cover image (which can be
nearly anything) is a famous artwork, the goal is to correctly identify the name of the artwork & artist, get it correct then camouflage the next piece of art (using Photoshop, MS Paint or whatever image editing program you're into).
Deface the art image in any way necessary to prevent it from being detected by reverse search engines such as
Google images &
Tineye.
Some sites you can use for uploading images are

Written clues often give the game away too quickly, so instead just reveal a little more of the underlying image as & when a clue is required.
First-up.
How to play (Thanks Red Hare)
Basically the purpose is to name the Artwork which has been posted in a disguised format.
If you guess correctly then it is your turn to post....
1) Find an Artwork
2) Disguise the Artwork using whatever means you find handy ( Microsoft paint, Sumo Paint, Gimp, photoshop). Remember at first you only want to reveal a little bit of the Artwork. Others may use reverse search engines to find the original artwork, such as Tineye or Google reverse search.
3) Upload your image to Boards.ie; There are many ways - this is how I do it ...
a) Go to Wthax.org
b) choose the image file and press the "do it" button
c) copy the code which is produced - BBC Code ( full)
d) paste the code into a post on Boards.ie
4) If after a few days the Artwork hasn't been correctly guessed - reveal a little bit more of the Artwork ,,, and so on until the artwork is guessed.
5) Verbal clues may be used along the way to help the people guess correctly
