What type of processing is it called when you take a photo and turn it into a sort of poster art image?

Sorry, I don't know the name of the technique, sure it's not pop art or vectors but say and image of a statue in a landscape and you want to show it almost like a watercolour? Arrgh I don't know if Im explaining it right and don't want to link to an image to show as I think that's against the rules?

IIRC there's a PhotoShop filter that does that. There's also posterization but that's blockier.

Posting somebody else's image is against the rules but posting a link to an image isn't.

Having looked about at some vids it may be that photoshop illustrator is specifically used for these type of print.

These look like railway posters, which I believe were paintings/posters in an art deco style

I found this on making an art deco poster, but as you suggest it's using a vector editor rather than a raster based program like PS
