Used the photoshop tools for creating painting like effect but nothing is as easy as compared to using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 tool sliders to create a mesmerizing effect of a painting...
So here goes the tutorial.
1) Select the photo which you want to import.
After Importing the photo, switch to the Develop mode on the top right panel.
2) What I did here is recovered all the lost image data due to the brightness coming on the lens of the camera.
Recovery = 100
3) Then I switched to Contrast Slider and increased the contrast so that I can view considerable difference between the colours.
Contrast: 75 - 90
5) Then slide down to the Details panel
Open the details panel by clicking on the small triangle on the right of it.
6) Then I reduced the Details in the photograph that were present due to good quality of lens and camera.
Detail = 10 - 15
Here is your final result.
You can play around with the sliders and get some effects in tandom.
I have a second illustration which really turned out much better than expected.

Vibrance = 59
