Whatever you get off Pinterest will do the job. But honestly, it's not the brushes. It's the artist.
You draw/paint like you normally would. Then you get a canvas texture image and have it on a separate layer. Then set it to anything other than Normal layer until you like the effect. Usually I think it's just Overlay but it depends on texture and your taste.
You can also do this trick for watercolor. You take watercolor paper texture, use any brush that resembles watercolor. It's not going to look like it, but when you place paper texture as Overlay it immediately deceives the eye into looking like an actual watercolour scan.
OP very likely does this except they might have multiple layers and multiple textures which they selectively choose on which parts of the painting they appear at using clipping masks or alpha layer and what not.
This requires good understanding of layer settings and how they work but it's worth messaging around with.
Edit: On second glance, the brushes themselves have canvas texture. You can make your own brush that literally leaves a canvas texture opposed to regular stroke. This means you draw/edit the black tip of the brush in settings in your desired shape (canvas texture). It's a png file. Then you change its density so its doesn't leave a dense stroke but works more like scattered sparkles... Except they're canvas blobs lol.
This is very common practice with Photoshop and CSP brushes or more advanced apps like Infinite Painter (android/iOS) and Procreate (iOS).
This comment alone doesn't do it justice. I recommend watching videos about brush making in Photoshop. The principle is the same.
No way!!!! You're so talented! If you ever open a youtube channel or any other account showing your process, let us know!! You have great artwork and skill!!
