The trick to maintaining the texture is not to apply too much pressure to the knife. For this example, I used three colors to create a gradient, but you can use as many colors as you like; even one color will work. I squeezed them out onto my palette, then used a flat brush and repeatedly applied the paint on the canvas in tiny strokes, which should be positioned close to each other.

If you hate what you paint, you can always cover over the painting with gesso and start over. Leave the paint texture there from your original painting for added interest, or sand it away before you gesso over it. Get as colorful or muted as you like, and paint from the center out.
