[[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.

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.

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.

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.

This can be overcome in ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]''. Sims who have reached level 6 in [[
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.

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.
Line 228 ⟶ 258:
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.
Upon reaching level 6
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.

* 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}}
