==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.

* A bonus is added to the painting value from the number of paintings made (n)<ref>This is tracked in the skill journal statistics.</ref> on the respective canvas size.
** Small = n x 2
** Medium = n x 4
** Large = n x 6
** Drafting table = n x 2
** Sketchbook = n x 3
* The painting value is modified randomly between -25% and +25%.
* The painting value is increased by 25% for a brilliant painting or 50% for a masterpiece.
* The painting value is increased by 30% if the ''Master Painter'' challenge is completed.
* The painting value is increased by 40% for a portrait.
* The painting value is increased by 50% if the artist has '''Extra Creative''' lifetime reward.
* Completing ''[[Opportunity/Painting#Local Artists Gallery|Local Artists Gallery]]'' opportunity doubles the value of the next painting. This bonus is only applied once.
* 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]] 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 ''Advanced Art Training Brilliant'' and ''Advanced Art Training Masterpiece'' opportunities allows Sims to paint brilliant paintings and masterpieces at will. [[Painting#Advanced Art Training|See below]].

===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)|traittraits]]s. There are three types of stylized paintings, i.e. Genius, Insane, and Somber. Genius style requires [[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]] 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.

==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]]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}}
