http://www.genesisoilpaints.com.au The paints were invented by John Pitre and Thomas Deir in 1989, then perfected with years of testing. Genesis paints came to Australia about 15 years ago being sold out of Western Australia. Then in 2010 the retail outlet changed hands and moved to Queensland.

No blending, no interruptions, just a smooth transition from the image in his mind to the image on his canvas. This is the spontaneity that renaissance man and Genesis® Oil Paints co-inventor John Pitre always wanted. 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.

Genesis® Oil Paints stay wet until heated, making them more convenient than oils or acrylics. The paint will not dry when left in the open on a non-porous surface.

Genesis® Oil Paints offer fine control in mixing, blending and application and can be worked in many states without the addition of mediums. They are very similar to oil paints in feel, opacity and translucence. We encourage you to experiment with your style to achieve the desired effect.

Other paints have very different chemistries from Genesis® Oil Paints. Do not mix Genesis® Oil Paints with other oils or acrylics because the results are unpredictable.

Since Genesis® Oil Paints do not air dry, you do not have to clean your brushes even if you will not get back to painting for days, weeks or even months. When cleaning brushes for quick colour changes, simply wipe off excess paint, swirl in rubbing alcohol, wipe and repeat. The alcohol quickly cleans and evaporates out of the cleaned brush. You may also clean brushes by using warm water and soap, such as Dawn dishwashing detergent. Dry your brushes thoroughly after cleaning.

While Genesis® Oil Paints can be thinned or cleaned with solvents commonly used with oil pants such as paint thinner, turpenoid and mineral spirits, these solvents are not necessary. Most artists prefer rubbing alcohol or odourles solvent. Genesis® Oil Paints are not water soluble.
