I saw this amazing tutorial on turning a photo into an oil painting in photoshop. The author used a brush to do the base by distorting the underlying photo, and then added textures to finalize the look.
Is this possible to replicate in Krita? Either through a brush too, or through gmic?
Use the smudge brushes “Wet bristles” or some other ones and in the brush editor use the overlay mode. With this mode you can paint over the photo on different layer but picking the colour from the photo layer beneath with the smudge brush this will make it like wet brush strokes.
Then there is rgba brush here in the forum by @emilm - Rotating light brushtips WIP Add strokes with brush.
There might be some other embossing type of filter in gmic I have not checked it enough which will give you this type of look.
Hello @dialanche, and welcome to the forum!
I guess that you can do the oil-painting impression with the brush-set from @emilm, the distortion can be done with the brushes Krita ships with:
But I think also the “Daishishi Thick Oils”-bundle from @Daishishi is worth to try for this kind of painting, but there exists only a Google Drive download-link, at least as far as I know:
And this older and experimental bundle from iForce73 obtainable on DeviantArt (where you need to register to be able to download) may be worth a look, too:

And because @raghukamath posted additional info in between, I don’t need to further explain the way you can achieve it.

If you’re going to convert photos, you’ll probably find something in G’Mic, which comes with Krita. It has a large collection of image filters. With your image open in Krita, go to Filter > Start G’Mic-Qt.
