Sounds like you're talking about the photoshop mixer brush. I don't know much about PS blending but the adobe article actually seems helpful; I didn't know it simulated wetness and paint load:

Typically to set up dry mixer brushes for blending you want some gaps in the texture or transparency, otherwise, if you're at full opacity, you're just pushing paint in one direction. For loaded brushes, as you mentioned, picking a color in-between can help. The other thing is to use low pressure, much like done in trad, but it depends how hard/smooth the transition is you want to blend. I've never used smudge so I can't comment on that.

I'll join if you end up making it.
