Okay, holy cow...
I've only just discovered the Learning to paint digitally news articles and I'm working my through them so please excuse my ignorance.
If you don't mind me asking...for the different textures, did you change the *canvas* or did you make a selection on the painting and change the texture? I hope that question makes some sort of sense.

You mean for the painting hanging on the wall? I used part of a poppies photo, painted on it to get the effect of the sky and such and all the different colors, and I ran a texture filter over it for canvas to make it appear as if it were a real traditional painting - does that answer the question or did I get it wrong lol

So you only texturized the *painting*, not your entire picture. Okay. Thank you!

Yep I bought this photo of some poppies from a stock site, painted on some color and stuff like that, and used a texturizer to give it the "canvas" traditional feel. It took me ages to get the colors right when painting on there though I wanted it to look like some sort of traditional watercolor or oil or something...
hope that makes sense!
Photoshop has a texture filter, I hate using filters but in moderation this one worked really well for what I needed.

Well it turned out perfect, looked like an oil painting to me. Thank you for all the help. I'll get to those digital tutorials as soon as I can.

Your art is always phenomenal Cos.
I'm seriously considering buying this piece in puzzle form. It's freaking sweet.
