Crazy Redd's in the city.
sometimes nook sells them (but not that often). otherwise you need to find crazy redd in the city (though most of the paintings you buy from him will be fake ones)
There's not exactly a number of how many paintings are fake, it's really just luck. You basically just go into Redd's shop, and hope the painting you buy is not fake. If it helps, I heard from somebody that he will do sort of a silent evil laugh, and he will have a glint in his eye if the painting is fake. I'm not sure if this is 100% true, but it seems to be because every time I buy a painting from Redd and he doesn't do that, it's not a fake painting. Good luck!
Nook doesn't sell paintings. Only Redd. Sometimes they're fake.
Paintings are not sold at Tom Nooks. They are sold at Crazy Redd's tent which appears once a week. You must be a member at Crazy Redd's to buy anything though.
You cant ever really.It all depends on luck
You can't. Only if your lucky, but i would say just don't buy off him because if he does give you a fake painting it is only worth 10 bells and you buy it for 3 thousands bells. You can't really tell if it's fake but if he has a painting that costs only 2,000 bellls then you probaly shouldn't buy it. If the painting is really expenses, even for Redd's shop, then you should buy it and see if its real. Just because the paintings aren't real doesn't mean there not good decoration for your house.
when you bought Crazy Redd's painting you should donate it to the museum
Simply buy them from Red at his shop in the city.Some of his paintings may be forgerys,but only Blathers can tell.If theyre fake,he wont put them in the museum.
Redd sells them
You get fake paintings in Animal Crossing by going to Crazy Redds tenet if you have a membership. He might sell you a forge, but it is not guaranteed. Forgeries(fakes) cannot be put in the museum and are worth only about 10 bells.
To get into Crazy Redd's store on wii, you have to get an invitation from a villager who will recommend you. Make really good friends with one villager. Talk to them alot, play hide and seek with them if they want you to, do tasks for them, etc. Eventually they'll bring Redd up and ask you if you've ever been there. Say you haven't and they'll probably send you an invitation. But, remember, Redd's illegal and sells counterfeit paintings.
