If you have those Sims 3 lamps (so jealous) you should be good to go for getting your Sim in certain emotions to paint them. But just in case you were curious of other ways, here's a link to a list from the forums on Carl's Sims 4 Guide that shows other ways to do it as well. *Note - Some of these require more than just the Base game to accomplish and rewards from other careers.
Emotions and Items/Actions That Influence ThemEDIT: This list is from 2014 so it's in no way all inclusive. I'm sure there are other ways not listed from packs released since the list was made. Regardless, I still find it quite handy and use it all the time. :)
