Please use this thread going forward: [DU] Figure drawing masterpiece did not count toward Painter Aspiration | EA Forums - 12183088
Can confirm this and expand a little.
I have a sim in the "Painter Extraordinaire" aspiration. I got to the "Paint 5 masterpieces" task. I noticed sometimes it would count towards the goal, sometimes it won't.
After testing, I found out that if I tasked my sim to paint a painting, and it ended up a masterpiece, it would count towards the goal. However, if my SIM started painting on their own, and it ended up a masterpiece, it WOULD NOT. My sim painted 4 paintings, two I initiated, two my sim initiated on their own. The two I initiated ended up counting towards the goal, the two my sim initiated did not.
At the very least, make sure you initiate all paintings, at least until the goal is complete.
Edit:
I did figure out one thing... If the sim starts a painting on their own, and I cancel it and resume it myself, it then counts towards the goal. It only fails if the sim starts and finishes the painting on their own.
Figure Paintings are still not counted for the 10 Excellent Paintings required for the third milestone. Haven't got to the fourth milestone yet.
