Painting is a skill in The Sims 3.
The skill is augmented by the Artistic trait and Extra Creative lifetime reward.
Pictures drawn can be hung, sold or kept in inventory as in The Sims 2. Also note that pictures will appreciate over time. You could see the original price and the appreciated price when the picture is in your inventory. In The Sims 3, certain personality traits affect how your Sim's paintings look. A very good summary of these differences can be found here.
