I-Kore color \"flaring\"

[Otter]

Something very odd is happening with my current paint combination. I laid down a light layer of black ink wash, covered it with two light layers of GW \"Nauseating Blue\", then put a fine layer of I-Kore \"Pale Flesh\" over the blue to base some highlights. The I-Kore layer is incredibly thin and I\'ve never used this brand of paint before - It\'s far more shiny than I expected.

Anyhow, I go over the highlighted surface with another thin layer of the blue and I get RED. Vibrant blood RED.

What could have caused this? The paints were new-ish (no double dippings that could have contaminated them) and the brushes were clean. There\'s also no red near the area I was working on, so it\'s not runoff. Is this a chemical reaction or an I-Kore paint problem? I kind of like the current look, but it would truly stink if this were to happen on something else and the results were poop.

It may have been a color problem, as flesh colors do have a small amount of red in them. However, since it was and Ink I\'m thinking something different might have happend. When I was in photography and we used a red light while developing, the teacher told me that the red light would make some colors weird. Since regular light contains all colors, anything is colored regularly, but when you use one color, the light can\'t reflect blue, for example.I\'m thinking that the ink may have shifted the colors and factored them out.

However, I\'m going to stick with the chemical explanation, as the one above gets pretty weird, like I said..
