Platinum Silicone Mask Painting Part 1: Surface Prep, Mixing Paint & Airbrushing Flesh Tones

Learn how to paint platinum silicone masks with leading makeup effects painter Jamie Grove (The Shape of Water, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Avengers: Infinity War).

In Part One of this 2-part course, Grove teaches you how to lay down a solid foundation for your mask painting projects, including his approach to proper surface prep, pro tips for mixing a platinum silicone slurry, and how to paint primary flesh tones with mottling, spattering, and other airbrush techniques.
