Self taught artists in Ermelo paint works of art

Ermelo residents, Mr Mthobisi Malaza and Mr Martin Mabuza, are two self-taught artists who paint art pieces on different types of fabric.

They both grew up in Ext 2, Wesselton.

Mr Malaza was more focused on realistic art pieces and uses ballpoints and pencils.

He then focused on furthering his skills by using paints on different materials such as canvas in 2005.
