All Figure paintings do not work with the Base Game Aspiration Painter Extraordinaire. At Milestone III: Brushing with Greatness where 10 excellent paintings are required, any excellent, or above, quality Figure Painting does not check of 1 of the 10 paintings required.
No mods, no CC and all packs to date.

I can confirm that the figure paintings didn't count for my sims for either their required excellent paintings or their masterpieces and I've had used the standard easel and also one unlocked by a career (no mods/cc, I have all the packs and my game is version PC 1.58.63.1010)

Do the paintings count for any of the milestones ?

@crinrict I tested to see if there were any other issues with figure painting and they counted with the first tier of the aspiration; ie starting figure paintings while inspired counted and the time spent painting them also counted (it took my sim about 3.5 figure paintings to count the five hours, which seemed about the same as what I'm used to). For the second tier, selling the figure paintings also counted for the 'sell three paintings to the collector or art gallery'. So the issue only seems that they aren't registering for either the excellent paintings (for the third tier of the painter aspiration) or as masterpieces (for the fourth tier of the aspiration).
Best regards,

@crinrict Figure paintings do not register with Milestone 3 or 4 but they do count for overall hours painted and for sell 3 paintings which is Milestone 1 and 2 respectfully.

Seeing this on PS4 currently. My observations are the same as @NZsimm3r reported.

Just now I had my Sim paint nothing but figure paintings until she had ten. She painted seven excellent and three masterpieces and none of them counted towards the aspiration goal of ten excellent paintings.

Since this last patch I have been trying to have my sim have 15 pieces of art in their home but i find now that placing paintings causes it to mess up , She has six pieces it says when she actually has 10 masterpieces on the wall , I painted some it went up to 8 , i took her on a date and its gone back to six , painted another 2 and it went up to 8 again , Then i had to save and quit , Back in the game and its now back at 6 pieces

@YorksRob Is this about figure drawing or paintings in general ?
