You need to use either a latex mask paint base (which is a clear base) mixed with acrylic paints (craft paints, createx, liquitex) or a rubber based paint mix that consists of rubber cement mixed with oil paints and thinned out with mineral spirits. Or a combination of the two tecniques can be used together to create a real contrasted look.
The latex mask paint base can be found at on line stores like themonstermakers, or other special effects suppliers. It can be airbrushed on, or sponge painted. Depending on how opaque or translucent you want the color, less acrylic color mixed in will give you a see through look, more acrylic will give you a solid color.
Rubber cement mix needs to be used with caution, use vinyl gloves, proper ventilation and i even recommend a breathing mask. This is applied using a sponge only.
Themonstermakers website has tips/ demo's on how to use this mixture..as well as demos using the latex paint base. Hope this helps, good luck.
