"Genesis" the non-toxic paints

[Karin Wells]

I do agree that the Genesis website could benefit from adding some heavy-duty technical information for the more serious (and curious) painter.

Genesis says that their paint is archival and I tend to believe them. Unfortunately I am not "archival" but a mere fragile mortal. I think that painting with this non-toxic stuff, rather than what I have been using, will definitely increase my health and longevity!

I have their drying oven...it has a temperature gauge and an automatic shut-off...the paint is "done" as soon as it reaches the proper temperature (only a matter of minutes). It is goof proof and "duck soup" to use. It is tough to believe that my canvas or stretchers could be compromised.

If you're going to test Genesis, I recommend getting two colors; white and raw umber....they make a nice underpainting....
