I still have one sim left that I can test this on. I'll have data sometime next weekend.

Although right now I agree with deme.

That will be nice, I don't have a sim without the reward. I always give it to them early

The sim I'm going to test with currently has no challenges, level 8 and no extra creative. I won't buy extra creative until I see the sparkles.

I believe that it has been proven that sparkles come from extra creative LTR, the bushmaster challenge, or the proficient painter challenge, whichever the painter seems to have.
I don't think that I will be able to have my painter get the masterpiece challenge without one of the others first (on accident).

Also, the traits I will be using are artistic, perfectionist, loves the outdoors (don't see that one changing anything lol) and friendly.

My sim has the LTR "Extra Creative", but has not yet mastered any of the painting skill challenges and she paints with sparkles.

This is the easiest challenges to complete, actually...if you know how to do it.  All it requires is a painting level high enough to get masterpieces and knowing what the masterpiece paintings will look like when they're done.

Use medium or large paintings, since it takes longer to paint them and you'll be able to tell what they'll look like sooner.  Start the painting and only paint long enough to see what it's going to look like when it's finished (it shouldn't take very long...usually during the starting stage).  If it's not one of the masterpieces, you scrap it and start over.  If it is one of the masterpieces, you finish it.

You don't get credit for scrapped paintings since you didn't finish them.  You won't have to worry about accidentally getting a regular or brilliant since all of the masterpieces will use specific images that the lower quality ones won't.  You'll also save a lot of time, since you're only finishing the ones you're looking for.

This is how I always complete this challenge.  It's also worth noting that this will not work for Brilliant paintings, since they use the same images that the regular ones do.
