Genesis® Oil Paints - Heat-Set Artist Oils

Not Oil or Acrylic
Genesis® Oil Paints are a new paint chemistry, called "Heat-Set Artist Oils." Genesis® is an artist quality fine-art paint that is ready to apply without repeated pre-mixing and will not dry until you are ready; then it dries very quickly.

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.
