GIFT IDEAS FROM GENESIS ART SUPPLIES

This Christmas, why not treat yourself or a loved one to an artists’ medium that’s a joy to work with – Genesis Heat Set Artists’ Oils. They are similar to traditional oils in feel and application, yet the paints and their mediums are non-toxic, cadmium free and odourless – making Genesis great for the many artists who are allergic to (or just dislike the smell of) traditional oils and solvents.

Genesis oil paints are neither water nor solvent based and can be dried on demand. This allows the artist to move on with their work and not lose the creative flow while waiting for the paint to dry. It also means that paints can be left on the palette and brushes and they won’t dry out – so no cleanup is required and no paint is wasted. Walk away and leave you palette and brushes and when you come back – even months later – and everything is as you left it and ready to go!

The pigments used in Genesis paints have all been selected for their lightfastness, vibrancy, and covering qualities … and they come with the highest archival quality rating. All colours have the same viscosity, so blending and application is made very easy and there is no colour shift between wet and dry paint. All this adds up to a paint that is a delight to work with.

Genesis has starter packs to suit all budgets and orders are dispatched by Express Post (with most being delivered within two working days).
