Painted Effect:
Duplicate layer.
Run high pass filter(filter, other, high pass) about 3.
Set blend mode to hard light.
Combine the layers(Shift/Ctrl/Alt/E) You can just flatten the layers.
Filter – stylize - Diffuse - anisotropic.
You can do this twice. You want to get a liquidy, smooth, painted look.
Unsharp Mask 150/.3/0
Smart Blur 3/12/High, Normal
You can also increase the contrast if need be.
