In this relaxed (and slightly adorable) demo, I’m putting both approaches to the test using my dog Crumble as our subject. We’ll paint side-by-side, comparing how each method affects depth, richness, and that all-important glow. This is such a useful exercise if you’ve ever struggled with muddy colours or flat-looking mixes. By the end, you’ll have a much clearer idea of how to create browns that feel alive, nuanced, and full of character. Grab your primaries and paint along—this one might just change the way you mix colour forever
