Zulu Ibutho Two

After taking about 18 months or so to finish my first Zulu regiment, I cracked on with doing a second one right away. 

I've had a wet palette for a couple of years and not really used it. My style has pretty much set to using paint out of the bottle and slap it on thickly. One of the downsides is that I end up wasting a lot of paint drying on the palette. But for some reason, I decided to try out the wet palette again, but not to do mixing. Instead, I discovered that it helped thin out the paint to a consistency that helps me paint much quicker through better flow and waste less paint through drying. Wet palette veterans are probably laughing at me, but it's never too late to learn a new technique.

Anyway, here is the new ibutho, the isAngqu.


And a close up
