He should pretend he didn't catch on. He doesn't know this guy. Doesn't have any idea what he'd want in return. It could be a trap too, can you get in trouble for implying you want contraband? Probably, if the guards want you to get in trouble.
...but he really hates those paints, and even considering dealing with a shady guy with a grin like that who is so well established as to smuggle things in and is literally in prison, is enough to give him a nice flood of dopamine that he's missed as much as people wanting his art. Maybe even more.
In a similarly hushed tone: ] With better paint, I could do a much better portrait.
