You can mix some acrylic paint with a lighter color and medium and glaze over the dark color. White can make it look chalky though. Yellow or bright orange over red can make the red look lighter. Yellow over green will work

If you need to lighten your dark brush strokes, simply mix the given colour with white and apply or start by building a layer of white followed by the colour you wanna add.
