|desc = All Sims love to paint, and with an Independent Expressions easel, painting is a snap. This "blank canvas" is sturdy enough for use indoors or out, and blank enough to allow even the most independent creativity to blossom and grow.
}}
In ''The Sims 2'', the easel is called the '''Independent Expressions Inc. Easel'''. It costs §100 more than its counterpart in ''The Sims'', but is considerably improved. With the Independent Expressions Easel, only the Sim who started a painting can continue it. Any Sim can scrap an unfinished painting, which will clear the easel, but Sims will not do this autonomously. The player can click on a finished painting to sell it, or use the hand tool in [[Buy mode]] to remove it from the easel and place it on a wall. The Sim who painted the painting does not have to be the one to sell it. Completing a painting builds the hidden [[Secret skills#The Sims 2|painting skill]], which increases the sale price of future paintings by that Sim.
Until the Sim has five points of Creativity skill, the only option is "Practice Painting". For Sims with at least five points of Creativity skill, this becomes "Paint", and the ability to paint a still life or portrait is unlocked. For both of those actions, the player will be shown a frame with the same dimensions as the easel. This can be used to select the view that will be painted. For a still life, nothing more needs to be done; the Sim will start painting as soon as the player selects a scene, and can stop and continue as with any other painting. However, if the player chooses to have the Sim paint a portrait, the Sim to be painted will come to stand beside the easel. The Sim cannot be posed, and the player will need to use the frame to line up the portrait. The Sim painting the portrait will only be able to work on it while the subject is standing next to the easel.
Since children, and even [[toddler]]s, can gain Creativity skill in ''The Sims 2'', the quality of a child's paintings will depend on his or her skill level, just as with adults.

==The Sims 4==
Sims only have access to one easel at the beginning, and can only paint classic paintings with it. Other painting types unlock as a Sim's painting skill improves. Any Sim can paint, though children have the Creative Art Thou Activity Table which serves a similar function to the easel. Painting is heavily influenced by [[emotions]], and 6 special emotional paintings are available to paint, though Sims cannot paint if they are [[tense]] or [[uncomfortable]]. Sims can unlock additional easels by advancing up the [[Painter]] career. Sims can also carry easels in their [[inventory]].
