Description

Van dyke brown - this is a colour which varies massively according to the pigment used, usually made from an earth pigment, this particular one is made from manganese hydroxide. 

In masstone it is warm chocolate brown, opaque and smoothly ground. Slightly less warmth than the swatch opposite suggests.

Once white is added, tints of pinkish violet greys are produced, traditionally used in portrait work, these subtle fleshy shadow hues are a prime example as to why this paint is perfect for that.

Without the heat of a burnt sienna and without the coldness of an umber this sits somewhere in between, and that is where it is most useful.
