Every painting that sells for 500§ or more counts as a masterpiece.
I have a bonsai that shows hidden skills, and it shows how the skills for writing and painting increases after creativity has reached level 10.

So we definitely agree the rules for masterpieces are different from those for novels.
Do we think the calculation of painting/novel value is a function of the number painted? It's clearly not the only factor for paintings, but if the other factors only adjust this base price by a small margin then your sims will tend to paint all masterpieces after a while.
I'm not convinced that stop/starting paintings doesn't reduces the value. I'm sure I read that somewhere a long time ago, but probably not anywhere awesome. It's certainly plausible from what I've seen in my game. I'd have sworn mood was a factor for painting too.
I really don't think I can be bothered to track paintings and novels in game to test it out though!
I do think mood affects the price of a finished painting, but I think the number painted is a bigger factor. That might largely be because sims with low needs won't keep painting. I had an unfortunate romance servo in perpetual reddish asp, who painted whenever he wasn't cleaning, gardening, or nannying. By the time his youngest charge left the family manse, every painting sold for $700 or more.
Ask Gwill. I seem to recall she had a servo who had painted hundreds of masterpieces.

Oooo, where'd you get that? The status screen that shows hidden skills is one of the things I miss about Insim.

Value of paintings doesn't seem to correlate to numbers of paintings painted. I just had a child who maxed his creativity as a toddler, his first painting sold for over $500. It is true tho, that the more paintings a sim does, the higher the price goes (the price will fluctuate up and down, but it consistently goes up).
