I've recently stepped away from Van Dyke brown, in favor of Gamblin's oddly named "asphaltum". It has warmth and depth, without the "dirty" overtones of burnt umber. Thanks to Bill Whitaker for the tip.

(Every time I think of "Van Dyke brown" I'm reminded with a smile of the first time I heard of the color. I was young, and got a great hoot out of watching Bill Alexander's Joy of Painting. He was laugh-out-loud fun, and he loved to "fire in" his "Van Dy-y-k-k-e br-r-own".)
