An Artist is a possible companion whose perk allows them to use empty canvases to create paintings at various locations. These paintings become more valuable with the artist's level, reflecting their skill. Artists are normally recruited in London; these come with 3 empty canvases, which will be added to your inventory.
If an artist is instructed to paint while Angry, (s)he will refuse to work and destroy a canvas. Also, painting a native in a village while your Standing is -3 or below may result in an incident, which will ruin the painting (and cost you an empty canvas).
May start with the following ailments: Superstitious (17.6%), Claustrophobic (11.8%), Sexist (5.9%), Kleptomania (5.9%), none (58.8%).
An artist is present in the starting parties of explorer Johan Huizinga and secret explorers Dimir, E.S. Goffterding, Freiherr von Gehlsdorf, Halász Tamás and Megan Carnes. Note that not all of these parties start with empty canvases.

Tips[]
- An artist's value as a companion lies in masterpieces. Promote these companions quickly to earn the most from their work. Otherwise, they can be a disadvantage to the group with their limited capacity and low toughness.
- Artists can be valuable to a hunting/outlaw strategy party, as their upgraded blue dice are needed for combos with the Hunting Rifle, Signature Rifle and Dynamite.
- Paintings are highly valued by the natives in villages.
