but I thought that when you use an underpainting and transparent glazes you want the white of the support to shine through the various layers of color.
Actually, this is not the principal behind underpainting. What shows through naturally are the halftones. The areas of light are "built up" by thicker layers of opaque paint that cover what is beneath.
