Wanna make a painting of a REAL picture using Photoshop..

Supposing this is the pic.

LAYER VIA COPY (Ctrl+J), name new layer POSTEREDGE

Lets FILTER->ARTISTIC->POSTER EDGES->EDGE THICKNESS, INTENSITY, POSTER EDGES be 10,1,6 respectively.

Highlight original layer and LAYER VIA COPY (Ctrl+J) it again, name this layer CUTOUT

Lets FILTER->ARTISTIC->CUTOUT->No. of LEVELS, EDGE SIMPLICITY, EDGE FIDELITY be 8, 3, 1 respectively.

Now placing POSTEREDGE layer topmost, followed by CUTOUT layer, make POSTEREDGE layer BLEND MODE=DARKEN/LIGHTEN with no change to CUTOUT layer.

We get my final painting (with POSTEREDGE layer BLEND MODE=DARKEN)

We can do a HIGH QUALITY SMART BLUR after MERGING LAYERS for better effect as shown below

An Estella Warren painting got by making POSTEREDGE layer BLEND MODE= LIGHTEN and a HIGH QUALITY SMART BLUR

NOTE:

# Another very good & easy method to convert a picture to a painting is to simply make a layer copy, FIND EDGES filter it, MULTIPLY this layer upon the original layer and HIGH QUALITY SMART BLUR the MERGED LAYERS.

# A HIGH QUALITY SMART BLUR is used everywhere to give a painted feel to the pics. It is the real magic behind these methods, especially the FIND EDGES filter method.

Here's a Beyonce Painting sample of the FIND EDGES method.
