there are a number of filters available as well as some "actions" but they will ALWAYS give the piece a digital "filtered" effect.

The best way is by hand, slowly building up tone and value adjusting slightly to a different hue, making new strokes blend with your first set. It's not easy but you have better control and the finishes piece will rival a traditional piece. It helps a GREAT deal if you are already familiar with painting with watercolour. In this way Photoshop is just another tool...

P.S. some of the filters i mentioned can be found in the FILTER --> ARTISTIC --> Watercolor...

try experimenting with:

remember if all the layers are aligned, you can erase areas and apply your effect to specific sections giving you more control...
