How can I achieve this effect?

I took this following image...
Added the Watercolour Filter from the Filter Gallery, followed by adding Noise to get the grainy effect. This is the result:
You might need to accentuate the Watercolour effect through settings or apply it multiple times to achieve a desired result.
Please let us know about your experiences.

Can you post the original source image? The image before a filter was used on it?

Just as an observations and not as criticisms - the image is more abstract than representational. There is almost no way to connect to what you're trying to "paint" other than it being blobs of color.
Even in watercolor, you still should recognize what subject you;re painting.
There also seems to be a lot of grain/noise which usually doesn't show in watercolor and no indication of the type of substrate (paper) being "painted" on.
Maybe this is what you're trying to achieve. It's up to the artist what they're trying to say and I'm just getting ahead of myself. My apologies if I've take the interpretation too far.
I've rarely tried my hand at watercolor but decided to look at some actual watercolors and try some tutorials. Downloaded an image from Unsplash and here's one result editing as watercolor:
There are two tutorials with similar processes:
So based on what you do, there are additional edits to what you made. Might try a few more myself.
