There's a subtle but recognizable difference between photobashing and real painting from the ground up. Photobashers paint things out, so you'd see large brush strokes covering or fading over small details.
Real painting starts with large shapes and move towards refinement, so there's always a logical layering of small elements and brushwork over larger shapes. The complexity comes from the layering of simple, hard strokes. Nothing here requires a photo, or even a special brush.

Hard round brush in conjunction with a large, low opacity round eraser to shape them. You can do this in any of the major software packages. Learn what you can do with basic opacity/flow and size controls before special brushes. All of this was done with a single round brush.

It largely doesn't.
