===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 Sizesize / Typetype
!colspan="11"|Skill Levellevel
|-
! 0 !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 !! 6 !! 7 !! 8 !! 9 !! 10

The following bonus is added to the painting value (addition). n is the amountnumber of works created in that specific category.

The total value of above is then multiplied with the following bonuses (if they apply)

Line 160 ⟶ 154:
# +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 Perfectionistperfectionist trait. In ''[[University Life]]'', completing the ''Advanced [[Opportunity/Art Training Brilliantappraiser#Brilliance|Brilliance]]'' and ''Advanced [[Opportunity/Art Training 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 Paintingpainting 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 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 [[Artart Appraiserappraiser]] career at either branch can receive the ''[[HiddenOpportunity/Art traitappraiser#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 ''Advanced [[Opportunity/Art Trait Brilliantappraiser#Brilliance|Brilliance]]'' opportunity, which unlocks ''Advanced [[Opportunity/Art Trait 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.

|[[Can't Standstand Artart]]
|Strokes become thicker and darker (''Dark Strokes'' filter).

====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.
 
Line 265 ⟶ 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.
 
====Stylized still-life paintings====
Upon reaching level 6 Paintingpainting 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. Geniusgenius, Insaneinsane, and Sombersomber. Genius style requires [[Genius (The Sims 3)|Geniusgenius]] trait, Insaneinsane style requires [[Insaneinsane]] trait, and Somber style requires [[Grumpygrumpy]] trait. Having the [[Artisticartistic]] 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: [[Grumpygrumpy]] and [[Cancan't Standstand Artart]] 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)|Geniusgenius]] trait; Buzzed, Divine Meal, Intrigued, Honor Student, Learning Quickly, and Tranquil moodlets
* Insane: [[Insaneinsane]], [[Over Emotionalover-emotional]], [[Neuroticneurotic]], and [[Nevernever Nudenude]] traits.
 
Reaching level 9 of the skill will unlock the Sombersomber style regardless of the trait, but not the other two.
 
===Trivia===
===Allusions of real life paintings===▼
* 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]]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}}▼
▲===Allusions of real life paintings===
Most brilliant paintings and masterpieces are allusions of real life paintings. The paintings below are some of the examples.

==The Sims 4Trivia==
▲* There's a 20% chance the painting will be displayed at the [[art gallery]], but only if it's sold directly from the easel.
[[File:Skill TS4 Painting.png|55px|left]]
▲* Crafted paintings cannot be stolen by [[Kleptomaniac (The Sims 3)|kleptomaniac]]s, but can still be robbed by [[burglar]]s.
In the Sims 4, painting skill can be increased by painting on easels, drawing on placemats at [[restaurants]], or spraypainting/airbrushing street murals{{Vgversion|TS4:CL}}. Painting skill can only be developed by teen and older Sims. Reaching Painting Level 10 is the requirement of the ''Refined Palette'' [[Achievement#The Sims 4|Achievement]].
▲* 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}}
Different [[Emotions|emotional states]] enable paintings to be created that have auras corresponding to the emotional state the Sim was in who painted it.
The player can enable the emotional effect or disable the emotional effect.
 
'''Emotional states that affect painting:'''
* Confident: Viewing a confident painting or being in the same room with one, can cause a Sim to become confident.
* Flirty: Viewing a flirty painting will cause a Sim to become flirty. Being in the same room with a flirty painting increases the odds that a Sim will become flirty.
* Angry
* Sad
* Playful
* Inspired: Painting while inspired causes Sims to gain painting skill faster and earn more money from their paintings.
