You can get brown on the palette by mixing orange and gray. In this case, you will get a light brown, dingy color. However, if you add a little red to it, you will see the noble color of ground cinnamon.
Step 3
An interesting shade of brown gives a mixture of yellow and purple.
Step 4
If you are painting old yellowed foliage, you can take a red color and add a drop of black to it. Vary the shades of vegetation by adding a little red, burgundy or, conversely, yellow. These noble colors will save your work from possible brown mud.
Step 5
A famous shade of brown is ocher. If you don't have this in your paint kit, just mix yellow with green (unsaturated) and add pure brown until you get a mustard hue. The ocher should be dirty yellow, dull.

Add a soft pink to pure brown and get the color of coffee with milk.
