It's definitely a fun idea to pursue and imagination in the limit with some of it. Parchment, cloth canvas, variety of inks (enchanted and non) are available.
Alchemy could play a role in it, and also it can spin off into mini adventures where the artist and some companions or mercenaries have to go and procure rare items. Fighting a giant sea snail for its precious purple pigment... it could be epic-ish.. giant snail.
Jancis knew an artist for a brief time and has a map of Eorzea the man painted for her including a depiction of her. It was a sweet moment where he asked her to not move for a minute so he could capture it in his mind's eye. So for a dark twist can even paint something which literally captures something or part of someone. I've seen a couple 'art workshops' set up with small tables and the manor music holder as an easel.
An idea to maybe mask magical runes or shapes (like an arcanist) within paintings.Â
Just throwing out random ideas while not staring at work.
