By getting this feat you are a very skilled painter which means you can make beautiful paintings and even imbue some magic into them. First off, you can make three different kinds of paintings Portraits, Landscapes, and Magic. Portraits are a painting of a living thing, generally a humanoid, and are often paid for by a person to do live of that person. These portraits are worth a lot of money and normally are only purchased by nobles and other rich people. To create a Portrait you need a canvas, a brush and some paint which are all in painter's supplies if you hadn't already used it all before. To successfully make a portrait you need to make a 16 Insight ability check and a 16 Perception ability check. If you succeed both then the painting is a success and sells for a lot of money. If you fail one of them the painting is decent and you probably will get less money then promised. If you fail both then the painting is bad and the person no longer wants to but it. A bad painting is not worth anything so you wasted your time and supplies. The time taken to make a Portrait is one short rest. Next up is Landscapes which are paintings of a landscape. It can be of a city or town but it could also be of a beautiful forest or beach, it is really up to the artist. Landscapes are worth more then a Portrait is and likewise take longer and are harder. It takes a whole down day in order to make a landscape. Also you have to do a 16 Insight ability check and a 18 Perception ability check. The same rules apply if you fail one or both of them. If your landscape is a success then it has a chance to have an extra aspect. Roll a d4 and if it is a 4 then your painting allows you to realize a secret about the place you did it of which could be a rare creatures home, a useful plant, or even some treasure. Last is a Magic imbued painting which have magic in the paint. In order to make this you need to do a Landscape but with some extra steps. First there is an extra ability check for Arcana to make sure you understand the magic. Next you will have to determine what magic the painting has in it. An example of this is you could have a painting that when you look at it it cures you of blindness or maybe something a little less powerful such as any water drank within 30 feet of the painting is magically refilled. The extent of this magic is up to yourself and the DM. The last step is doing a Wisdom saving throw of 16 to see if the magic stayed in the painting when it dried. If you succeed then the painting does as you planned, if you fail then the painting is a normal landscape, and if you get a critical miss then the painting is cursed and gives a bad effect instead of the expected one. The only thing left to say is prices. A Portrait can be worth 100 gp - 250 gp depending on the buyer, a Landscape is worth 200 gp - 500 gp, and a Magic painting is worth over 300 gp and could be very high amounts depending on the magic in the painting.
