1) Soap and water are OK. So is Isopropyl alcohol (high grade). Oftentimes I simply wipe the brush with a paper towel and go on to the next color. Genesis also sells a brush cleaner and this is the best but most expensive way to do it. With Genesis you never - ever - have to clean a brush. Your brushes will last a very long time and stay in good shape too.
2) I have never had this happen! The only thing that I can think of is if you are using the Genesis final gloss varnish, it is meant to air dry.
3) Glazing is a little different with Genesis. You need to experiment. The old glazing medium must not be mixed at greater than 40%. The latest glazing medium (they don'e even sell the old one anymore) has no restrictions.
These paints are really nice. It is a good product and not being toxic is very important in this business.
