I am attempting some paintings in the classic grisalle method. I complete an underpainting and am satisfied with it's results so I let it dry. Now, I return and put a flesh-tone glaze over it and it lightens the underpainting and with multiple layers would disappear altogether. I'm sure Karin could shed some light on this.

Thanks,
