I'm basing my minatures for the first time, aiming for a swampy scenery. I'm using Vallejo European Mud (26.807) and AK Acrylic Puddles (AK8028) for the job, but I found a bit of an issue with the puddles: I wanted them too look quite murky, similar to what's seen on the Puddles' bottle packaging. However, the puddles are almost crystal clear, just a very slight greenish tint.
I tried applying the puddles directly onto the mud and in a spot without it and a layer of Citadel's Lustrian Undergrowth (pics below). In any case, no muddy water.
Spoiler:


So how can I make these puddles muddy? Do I need pigments of any sort?
Thanks.
