I don't know if you saw the post about this yesterday but in case not, Deep Paint 2 (the 2.5d version) is now freeware, you might want to have a go with it for postwork. Its worth the download just the texture resource but has some very nice paint simulation if you don't have Painter. You can download it here: http://www.download.com/Deep-Paint/3000-2191_4-10398243.html?tag=lst-2-7 Here's a review if you want to know more about it: http://www.designer-info.com/Writing/deep_paint_2.htm
