Brush strokes




I have this painting where I had drawn shapes in Ivory black - then changed the positions. The background is flat Ivory black now and I am happy with it (it actually was done sometime last year) - but where I drew these circles there are marks. I have covered them over several times with more black. It's actually the brush strokes that are showing. You only see them in certain light, but it is making me crazy.

Do I need to sand this? There is heavy thick paint in parts of this painting, but not there. I tried putting it on thickly to cover these brush strokes and it still didnt work. Whenever I have tried to sand a painting it has affected the color of the paint.

Thanks for any help.
