That's a lot harder to do with a brush - bits of different pigments get stuck in the bristles and sometimes mix unevenly. So at the advice of one of my favorite artists (Richard Schmid) when talking about color charts, I use a palette knife to mix and apply the colors.

It takes practice to use a palette knife well, so this is a two-birds-one-stone storta situation. I get to learn my colors a bit better and get better with a palette knife.\n\n-ZR",
