: Hi Thomas, although I agree with Patrick that Painter is a fantastic program but its $400 pricetag puts it out of the reach of most people who just want to dabble and I would have to disagree that you can’t get some sort of decent results along the lines of what you’re looking for in Photoshop.
:

Well, I can't argue about Photoshop being a great program - it's my bread and butter professionally! I like to play around with the noise > median filter to get painterly effects (you can go back and forth with median and sharpen a couple of times for a nice acrylic-painting look!)

Also, if you load a canvas texture into an alpha channel, then load that channel as a selection, when you paint on a layer it will look like your brush is painting onto canvas!

Still, I really have to say that Painter does it all SO much better in the faux-natural-media world that I would suggest you really need it in your arsenal. One way to avoid the price would be to buy a peripheral device that bundles "Painter Classic" (a repackaged earler version of Painter) for free. If you get a Wacom tablet, which you should have anyway, that will have it. So will many scanners.
