i prepared the surface by painting big paint smears in acrylic, then i took gesso and made some aggressive texture with a palette knife and let it dry. I did a second coat and put some piece of tissue paper in there the get that raised weird texture. It just dries right in the gesso and you can paint right over it

it's really very easy! and not very time consuming at all, so long as you have a hair dryer to speed up the drying time hehehe

Very effective image!

I had to double check that you did this, the style feels very different (and I enjoy both!).
