WOW!  I was impressed when you mentioned this yesterday, but seeing it is just mind blowing!  WOW!  And thank you!  I've always wondered about which paintings Sims would or could do.

*hugz!*

You're welcome LD! I was always curious, and keep saving those paintings in every game I played, but never got this far. I wanted to finally see them all and stop collecting them in dynasty game (and keep that file as small and playable as possible).
I'm still not certain if this is it, I couldn't find any reliable reference about how many paintings are there, so I'm still open to surprises, plus there are some wonderfull sketches too. Glad you like it

Wow, just...WOW!  This is amazing!  I was blown away by your gem collection and garden - I can't wait to download this collection, too!  So many decorating possibilities...

How do you do this? I certainly couldn't! First the Gem collection (Which made my sims very rich with no cheats!) and now this! Did you use any cheats for this?

@SimCity - Well, I suppose MakeNeedsStatic or such.
But it's great either way, Anushka. The Sim must be very talented.

Thanks everyone, katluvr, glad you like my collections and find a good use for them! SimCityBusDriver, TheChronicr is right about cheat parts, I used Static Needs to speed things up. But there needed to be some strategy involved. I have my Sim started painting, than cancel the action and move on to next easel, until he got 30 unique paintings, then he finished them and max painting during that. Once the Brushmaster challenge is done Sim can't finish paintings he started before it, which make things difficult since most paintings are on lower levels. So I had to marry him, have the wife paint her round, then their 2 children too. My Muse Family is very talented even if none is artistic and they split the task evenly!
Tip for regular players is that most of the paintings are unlocked between levels 4 and 8, and some paintings are unavailable after Sim max skill even if unlocked (painted earlier). I was disappointed that my main Sim simply never started new paintings available around level 7 and 8 after maxing skill, he keep repeating those he already painted.
Anyway glad you like it, and feel free to use them as decoration or whatever you find them usefull for.

Fascinating strategy. I would've never thought of something so flawless!
I am noticing repeating at level 10 too. My Christopher Steel has painted the same painting three times. Each time it was a masterpiece, and he managed to complete the masterpiece challenge! But there are really some nice paintings in the game. You did the right thing not giving them Artistic. That would make most painting blurry.

I will use them as custom art for my Architect! If I use BuydeBug's clone option, I can get copies of the paintings! That way, I will have an unlimited supply of artwork!

Chronicr, there is a lot of repeating on earlier levels too, sometimes they  start the same painting 5 times in a row, and sometimes, it's 5 different paintings. But they are all different at start, some have more suptile differences but can be distinguished from each other.
SimCityBusDriver that is very clever idea for fast cloning!

Anushka, this is an amazing achievement!  I just sat and gaped at all those easels with paintings.

Anushka, I think you should put a warning at the beginning of your collection post.

"Warning: this collection contains something epically amazing. Prepare to have your mind blown."

[Anushka]

Hehehe thanks Shanice and Schipperke, I love this aspect of the game, and it is amazing what our little Sims can achieve with our guidance. Glad you like it

Don't want to bring you down or anything, just want to check if it's there. Yesterday my Sim painted a fully black small painting. Is it there?

Wow, Anushka. That's amazing!
