Hi Holly,
I'm glad you found the forum! Don't use water mixable oils--awful stuff. I've never used Genesis so I can't say much about it except that I haven't heard many good things about it.
Brands of oil paints that I like are Sennelier (soft and pigment rich), Michael Harding, and Blockx. If you want a quick drying medium (dry to the touch within 2 days), Neo-Megilp is great. Stay away from Liquin. I have a painting that is less than 2 years old that is already yellowing. Currently I'm using cold pressed linseed oil as my medium. It is slow to dry which you may not be looking for.
Good luck,
Renee Price
