ChalkyDot Tip
Tan is one of those paints you’ll reach for often — use it as a soft leather base, a natural cloth tone, or a warm bridge colour between lighter khakis and darker browns for smoother miniature transitions. This is a practical miniature-painting tip based on the colour’s role in a warm brown palette.
