Tips on creating water ripples with gloss gel medium?

[Chartiers]

I poured a creek with Envirotex and now I'm getting ready to add some ripples to the still water with acrylic gloss gel medium.

I have not worked with the gloss medium before so I'm looking for any tips or techniques on how to use it to make good looking ripples and creating the water movement effect.

Some of the best water I've seen is on Joe Fugate's Siskiyou Line.
