What oil paint brand is best for texture?

Hm...any oil paints will give you texture, its just a matter of how you work with it once its on your canvas. The best brands though are Graumbacher and Winsor n Newton (i think), WnN being less expensive, and Graumbacher being one of the most expensive, what you'll have to do is play around with the paints, for example: using your palette knife, you can scratch out oil while its still wet, or when you place it directly on top and pull it off it gives you a nice texture, Theres also there brush lookin things with rubber on the ends, and its kind of like an eraser. Also experiment a little with Turpentine, Linseed Oil, and Liquin. For example mixing turpentine with linseed oil, and makin the paints run on your canvas. I've even seen a guy mix sand with house paint and get awesome textures, its just a matter of how creative you can get. Just experiment a little, maybe you can give me some advice later.....
