Genesis® Oil Paints - South Africa - Latest Newsletter

Hello to all Genesis Paint Artists and Reborning Doll enthusiasts.

Just a short note to thank you for being patient whilst I have been waiting for my latest order of paints from the USA. The Reborn Doll fraternity caught me by surprise and the Flesh 07 & Flesh 08 used on the dolls has been moving very fast and it is mainly these colours that were out of stock for a while.

All colours of paint, and also all Mediums, are once again fully stocked. I have increased my stock levels of the faster moving items so hopefully will not run out of stock too soon. (Must just remember to order stock early next time levels get low.)

Other good news is that I have managed to get new Genesis Paint Training Videos from a well known artist in Hawaii of all places. Leslie Tribolet is an artist who loves using Genesis and who loves painting portraits. Please visit her web site on www.leslietribolet.com.

This DVD is packed with hints and tips on portrait painting and using Genesis Heat Set Artists Oils.

Inspired by the painting 'Portrait de Mademoiselle Elizabeth Gardner' by artist William Bouguereau (1825-1905), Leslie beautifies and brings the face and hair up to date.

Leslie shows how to do every aspect of the portrait in easy to follow steps. The lessons learnt will help you to produce a portrait from an old master or a photograph.

Here is a taste of another of Leslie's portraits of an African Child which is also available on DVD.

The Training DVDs will be available for R250 each and will include a colour photograph of the finished painting. More DVD's will be coming from Leslie in the future.

Watch this space!

This is the spontaneity that renaissance man and Genesis® Oil Paints co-inventor John Pitre always wanted. No blending, no interruptions, just a smooth transition from the image in his mind to the image on his canvas. The only way he found to achieve this was to have an apprentice who would painstakingly replicate his colour palette. In apprentice and artist Thomas Deir, John recognized a unique genius. in a conversation in 1989, John said, "It's a shame there isn't a paint that would free you from having to mix and clean my palette for me so you could pursue your own creative forces." That was the seed. Together, they began to experiment with various carrying mediums and came up with a new paint, a patented medium, that wouldn't dry until the artist wanted it to. It was perfected with years of development and testing. Today, their pursuit of a dream that would free artists to explore the mastery of their own style has become a reality with Genesis® Oil Paints Heat-Set Artist Oils.
