You need to render your backgrounds normally, then use photoshop filters (Or those in similar software) to make the rendered image look painted. I can't give you any formulas because what works best changes from picture to picture. You can even use photos as I did in the pic at the link. Please excuse the painted effect in that pic. It was an early experiment and a bit overdone :D
