I want to create 'artistic' print outs of pictures.
I was just wondering, is there other papers than the normal that I can
print on?
Like a heavy matt or grainy surface?

Any links to websites where sold would be useful.

Thanks.

Precisely which paper are you using? Every printer maker sells more than
one type.
To answer your question, there are lots and lots and lots of different types
of paper.
Like a heavy matt or grainy surface? Yes.

B&H sells papers from all of the major printer companies. Red River Paper
(among many others) sells its own line of papers.

shop.

Many photo editing programs can modify a photograph so that it looks like
it's been painted with a brush. If you run that tool over an image the print
on textured paper and give a coat of "varnish it can be quite convincing
from a few feet away.
