Acrylics? looks like oil, how did you get those thick strokes?
btw, what does "malpappe" mean?
Thanks again!

Yes, it's acrylics. I used modelling paste for the thick parts. I painted using a palette knife and my fingers. (Paintbrushes are SO overrated.) "Malpappe" is painting cardboard, meaning it's robust cardboard with canvas glued on. Very useful when normal canvas on a stretcher frame isn't stable enough. (Modelling paste would crumble!)
Actually, I don't like oil. It dries too slowly and it STINKS.

modeling paste, nice trick! no wonder it looked impossibly thick
And agreed, damn oil smell! gave me
headaches, now I'm diving into acrylics, loving it! (:
