Quote:well I shouldn\'t say \'harder to paint\' but like with a latex piece and latex acrylic paints, it bonds to the latex as your painting it. With silicone you can\'t touch it when the paints wet or it\'ll all smear. You have to seal the silicone once you\'re done painting it and without touching it.
It\'s not that it\'s harder, just trickier.
Silicone is awesome though, very lifelike and skin like.

Conors paints bond to the silicone as well.. he thins it with silicone.. just as some mask artist thin latex with paint.. adheres the same.. just differnt compounds .. but other artists may do it differently than him...

ahh, that\'s a good trick. I\'ve always been nervous about painting silicone cuz I\'ve heard some horror stories.
Plus I just really dig latex.
