Hi Dee
I’m not sure what you mean by “milky”?
The only thing I can think of is that the particular paint you’re using has a mix of pigments that appear milky when mixed…

You explain concepts so that they can be understood and used.
Your graphics make it easier to understand also. I am a visual learner and your presentations make everything easier for me to get the concept you are illustrating visually.
a big fan!
