Jen’s Insight:
"Burnt Umber is that perfect rich, chocolate brown that I use all the time. It’s key for tree trunks, fall landscapes, and darkening greens when they turn too minty. We always start with dark tones first, and Burnt Umber is part of that essential first layer—it builds depth and contrast before highlights bring everything to life." – Jen Vranes, Creator of DabblePaints™
