Getting a painting in Animal Crossing is like going on a treasure hunt! First up, wait for Redd, the shady fox, to show up on your island with his treasure trawler full of art (and some fakes!). Check his shop whenever he visits and buy any genuine pieces. To tell the real deals from the fakes, you might need to do a little research or use an online guide! Sometimes, your villagers might also gift you a painting, so keep those friendship levels high.

Just wait for Redd to show up and hope you pick a real painting and not a fake. It's a 50/50 shot sometimes, feels like.

As someone who's played more hours of Animal Crossing than I'd like to admit, the key to getting paintings is patience and a bit of luck. Redd visits randomly, and not every piece in his shop is legit. Study the artwork carefully or use an online guide to spot the genuine articles. Also, don't forget to donate your first genuine finds to Blathers at the museum!

Honestly, just trade with friends. Redd's randomness can be a pain, and if you've got a buddy who snagged an extra Mona Lisa (you know the one), see if you can trade it for something they need!
