try red, black, white and yellow-and see if that helps....i wish you had purple, 'cause red and purple def make brown.

green and blue

One part yellow, three parts red, a smidgent of black, and a slight dab of white. It is best to do it in this order.

i just made that color earlier with acrylic paints. i think i mixed yellow, and i kept adding a little bit of black at a time until i got the color i wanted. careful, a little black can go a long way! hope this helps. =D

Try tinting brown with orange until you get the desired tone.

Get a Tube Of Sap Green and a Tube of Alizarin Crimson You can mix some gorgeous Browns with them. Good Luck
