What is the difference between a gel and a texture paste?
A. A gel dries clear and can be mixed with paint without altering the paint color. Gels are used to create impasto paints. Gels remain flexible. Texture paste is usually used to build up or create relief in an under painting. Texture paste contains fillers which aid it in holding its shape. Texture paste dries opaque and more brittle than gel. When mixed with paint, texture paste alters the paint color.
