How to use the gel for oil painting?

I would like to know how to use the gel to make texture in oil painting.


Does it mixed with oil paint or apply on the canvas before putting on the paint first? Please explain as the more details the better. I am a beginner. Many thanks!How to use the gel for oil painting?
When using an oil painting medium like an impasto gel (which I think is what you're talking about), you should mix the gel thoroughly into your paint on the palette. Use a palette knife to make sure the paint and gel are very well combined.





After mixing, you can use your knife or your paintbrush to apply it to the canvas.
