Zorn Palette?

Our Discord community has a monthly painting challenge called The Great MLG Brush Off, every month there is a different theme to paint around chosen by the community at the start of the year by vote. February is Zorn Palette, which left Mrs MLG perplexed as she has no idea what that is.

The community explained that it is basically Red, Yellow, Black & White. Mrs MLGs brain/imagination does not see pictures, for example if someone said Apple people may picture a juicy red apple in their mind, an image of a fruit bowl or solitary green apple spinning on a turntable may pop into existence in their brain, for Mrs MLG how ever that space remains a black void of nothingness, she knows what an apple is of course and could easily describe one to you, but picture it in her mind? No.
She is also terrible at understanding mixing, basically to Mrs MLG yellow is yellow and thinking what that will look like mixed with red, let alone reds of different tones, doesn’t compute, so this was going to be a challenge. Now couple that with not having the faintest clue which miniature to paint in the first place and February Brush Off is mind melting for Mrs MLG. But, of course, she gave it a go tonight while Mr MLG was working at the shop for Late Night Gaming.

Here are the paints used and the final painted mini which took a couple of hours. She will probably attempt another, possibly something with more detail, but for now this is Mrs MLGs attempt at a Zorn Palette.
