Why mix Cream instead of buying it
Mixing Cream yourself lets you approximate an expensive or hard to find tube from pigments you already own, match Cream across paint brands whose factory tubes differ, and rebuild the exact colour when you run out mid painting. The recipe above is the working starting point.
Common mistakes
White cools and chalks a mix as you add it, so tint in small steps and stop before it goes pastel.
