[[File:Painting skill icon.png|left]]'''Painting''' is a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''.. Sims can make small, medium, or large-sized paintings. A finished painting can be named, hung on the wall, or sold either from the [[easel]], [[inventory]], or [[consignment store]]. Sketches made from the [[drafting table]] or [[sketchbook]] cannot be consigned, however.
The painting skill is augmented by the [[artistic]] trait, and the '''Extra Creative''' [[lifetime reward]]. Sims can learn painting skill by using the easel, drafting table{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}, or sketchbook{{Vgversion|TS3:UL}}. They can also take a [[Skill class|class]] at the [[school]] or [[College#Thomas School of Art|college of art]]. With ''[[Ambitions]]'', Sims can register as a [[Skill career|self-employed]] painter.

==Painting value and quality==
The value of the paintings varies, and it depends on many factors, including skill level, canvas size, painting quality, number of paintings Sims have made, and some other factors.
* The base value of the painting depends on the canvas size and skill level. Below is the table of base painting value.
{|class="plaintable heading-blue"
!rowspan="2"|Canvas size / type
!colspan="11"|Skill level

!Final painting value formula
|-
|(BaseValue x Modifiers + Bonus) x FinalModifiers
|}
The painting value appreciates every day if the painting is made at level 5 skill or higher. The appreciation value is earned from the skill level (s) the painting was first started times the canvas size.
* Small = s x 0.5
* Medium = s x 0.75
* Large = s x 1
* Drafting table = n x 0.5
* Sketchbook = n x 0.75
If the artist dies, the painting value is added by §930 and the rate of appreciation above is doubled. This bonus will not be given if the artist was already a ghost.
Brilliant paintings and masterpieces are unlocked at level 6 and 9 of Painting skill, respectively. There's a 20% chance Sims will paint a brilliant painting and 10% chance for masterpiece. The chance can be increased by having either of the following benefit:
# +40% (brilliant) and +35% (masterpiece) if the Sim has completed ''Proficient Painter'' challenge,
# +25% (brilliant) and +15% (masterpiece) if the Sim has '''Extra Creative''' [[lifetime reward]], or
# +20% (brilliant) and +15% (masterpiece) if the Sim has the [[Perfectionist (The Sims 3)|perfectionist]] trait.
Keep in mind that the preceding benefits <u>do not</u> stack. The priority is sorted in descending order, so the benefits will supersede the following. This means that having completed the ''Proficient Painter'' challenge will void the '''Extra Creative''' reward and perfectionist trait. In ''[[University Life]]'', completing the ''[[Opportunity/Art appraiser#Brilliance|Brilliance]]'' and ''[[Opportunity/Art appraiser#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' opportunities allows Sims to paint brilliant paintings and masterpieces at will. [[Painting#Advanced Art Training|See below]].

==Painting styles==
{{See also|Painting (The Sims 3)/Gallery}}
As Sims advance in the painting skill, the quality of the paintings also get better. There are 171 paintings available to paint (158 from the base game, 13 from ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''). Each painting has minimum and maximum skill caps—Sims with low Painting skill cannot make a high-level painting, and vice versa. This means that once the Sim has advanced in the skill, they will no longer be able to paint unique low-level paintings.
{{Anchor|Advanced Art Training}}
This can be overcome in ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]''. Sims who have reached level 6 in [[art appraiser]] career at either branch can receive the ''[[Opportunity/Art appraiser#Advanced Art Training|Advanced Art Training]]'' opportunity chain from the [[abandoned warehouse]]. Once Sims complete the opportunity chain, they are given the ability to paint paintings at any skill level on the easel, which also unlocks ''[[Opportunity/Art appraiser#Brilliance|Brilliance]]'' opportunity, which unlocks ''[[Opportunity/Art appraiser#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]''. Completing the respective opportunities will enable Sims to paint brilliant paintings and masterpieces at will.
===Trait-based paintings===
Each painting has 9 variations that depends on the Sim's traits. All variations of the painting are equally weighed if the Sim has one or more traits on the list. The variations of the painting generally use ''Photoshop'' filters to create the effect.

===Still-life paintings===
At level 5, Sims can paint a still-life painting and sketch{{Vgversion|TS3:UL}}. When choosing this painting type, the screen will display a camera interface. The players can position the camera to capture the still-life snapshot for the Sim to paint. The still-life painting has 2 basic effects. Either effect will be applied to the painting randomly.
At level 7, Sims can paint portrait of other Sims or pets{{Vgversion|TS3:P}}. The players can take the snapshot of the other Sim or pet. They will pose while the Sim paints. Portraits take 50% longer to complete, but the value is worth 40% more than regular paintings.
At level 8, Sims can memorize scene using the cellphone. The camera interface will be displayed for the players to capture a snapshot. Sims can later paint from memory on the easel, based on the snapshot taken from the memorize scene interaction.
===Stylized still-life paintings===
Upon reaching level 6 painting skill, Sims can unlock additional stylized still-life paintings, providing they have the required [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]]. There are three types of stylized paintings, i.e. genius, insane, and somber. Genius style requires [[Genius (The Sims 3)|genius]] trait, insane style requires [[insane]] trait, and Somber style requires [[grumpy]] trait. Having the [[artistic]] trait will unlock all the styles.
There's a chance that Sims will apply a style when painting the basic still-life painting if they have certain traits or [[moodlet]]s. This only happens randomly, and cannot be done on command.
* Somber: [[grumpy]] and [[can't stand art]] traits; Lonely, Desolate, Disappointed, Lost A Friend, Rejected Proposal, Heartbroken, Mourning, Boring Conversation, Embarrassed, Humiliated, Upset, Feeling Unlucky, and Buzz Crashed moodlets
* Genius: [[Genius (The Sims 3)|genius]] trait; Buzzed, Divine Meal, Intrigued, Honor Student, Learning Quickly, and Tranquil moodlets
* Insane: [[insane]], [[over-emotional]], [[neurotic]], and [[never nude]] traits.
Reaching level 9 of the skill will unlock the somber style regardless of the trait, but not the other two.
==Allusions of real life paintings==
Most brilliant paintings and masterpieces are allusions of real life paintings. The paintings below are some of the examples.

</gallery>
==Trivia==
* There's a 20% chance the painting will be displayed at the [[art gallery]], but only if it's sold directly from the easel.
* Crafted paintings cannot be stolen by [[Kleptomaniac (The Sims 3)|kleptomaniac]]s, but can still be robbed by [[burglar]]s.
* If the Sim has the '''Extra Creative''' lifetime reward or has completed any of the skill challenges, his/her right hand will sparkle while painting.
* When renovating a house as a Sim who works in [[Architectural Designer]] profession, decorating the house with the portrait of the client or member of the client's household will add bonus scores.{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}
