Painting brick foundation inside, bad idea?

Cool that's what I'll do. Now is drylock an actual paint, or is that just a covering, then I paint over it?

Also for air circulation I'm thinking of getting a long dryer hose and hooking it up to a blower and just having the hose near the area I'm working. For a health and safety standpoint would this be enough fresh air flow to work in a tight area? I'll most likely wear a mask too.
