How to produce texture on an oil painting on canvas?

How to you make a textured look on an oil painting, so its textured to feel and looks roughish? Also, is there any type of metallic paint thats suitable to use with oil and canvas?How to produce texture on an oil painting on canvas?
You can buy paste to use with oils to make them thicker - Winsor %26amp; Newton ';WinGel'; or ';Oleopasto';, and Grumbacher ';Zec'; %26amp; Gamblin G-Gel which are fast-drying. Oleopasto is the thickest gel for oils.





The only metallic oils I know of are Winsor %26amp; Newton Oil Bars and Shiva Oilsticks which come in metallic colours. Since they dry faster than traditional oils, they should be used only after the underlying oil paint has cured. I certainly would not recommend using an acrylic metallic on top of oils as they are not compatible. An enamel could be used, but only after the oil paint is fully cured.





Alternatively, you could purchase metallic powdered pigment like Pearl Ex and mix it with WinGel or Oleopasto - that would work perfectly.





Acrylic modeling paste cannot be used on top of oil paint (and I wouldn't really recommend using it underneath either.)

1. Gobs of paint.


2. Letting the first lawer totally dry,...paint over it again.


3. Brush Strokes. Depends on what brush you use, all


brushes leave different mark,...you'll need to experiencement





The only other possible thing which I can think of is modeling paste. Art stores have it, but I am not sure if you can use it for oils. I use it for acrylics.





Good luck, fellow artist.

come here and you can know the reason.
load the paint on! go to a museum if you can and take a close look at any painting that you think has the right look (van gogh is a good example if your museum has one of his works). there are tons of metallic oil paints out there-find a good art supply store.
