    The opacity of your of your brush, most likely isn't at 100%. So every time you paint a new stroke by holding down the mouse key, you will add opacity to the layer until it reaches 100%. You can set the entire layer to a lower opacity and your brush at 100%. The screen shots shows, on the left, two brush strokes, with the brush set at 100%. The right shows the brush set at 45%.

    Either that, or the brush and/or layer is set to some other blend mode than "Normal".  "Multiply" for instance, will do exactly what you describe.
