Russet

[woodelf]

Could any painter in acrylics out there tell me the colours to mix for the colour russet...I've forgotten or rather I can't see any more and I need to know the quantity of what colour to what? Ta Muchly.

I would start withh 3 parts crimson to 1 part ultramarine and work from that.

Many Thanks Scotman, but wouldn't that give a dark though deep brown?...How about a touch of yellow somewhere along the line?...though I guess that would affect the ultra and throw green into the mix!
