WIth +12 years of experience with the digital rendering work flow, I've come to a few conclusions, some of which are:

- There is no single button - press R for Render - type solution. This is true regardless of product and no matter how fancy the image filtering may be.

- Painter watercolor effects are significantly better than those found in PhotoShop

- A Wacom tablet (or other manufacturer of your choice) is a required tool. If you're only using a mouse you're missing out on 80% of what image applications can do (it's like putting in a screw with a hammer - you can do it but why)

This link at EngSW's drawing room may be useful to describe one possible rendering workflow process:

Additional thoughts on the subject are included at the link below.

Hope that helps
