I've been trying another mix to create greens - Holbein Marine Blue and Burnt Sienna which is creating a nice variation especially when dropping in or adding Leaf Green.
As far as Bt Sienna, I've read where several artists prefer Winsor & Newton Bt Sienna over other of the same but in different brands. One of the reasons being WN Bt Sienna is more transparent than most. With that I decided I wanted to test between three brands (WN, Holbein, and Daniel Smith) I have on hand to see the difference. The following shows my results.
Winsor and Newton and Holbein are extremely close in color and transparency and would be a toss up for me in choosing.
Now Daniel Smith is definitely different and not as transparent. But even DS Bt Sienna would be great for a passage if you wanted a more subtle or muted appearance. For me it would just depend on what I was after.
