| Recovery Effort Praised – The head of INTERPOL has praised police authorities in Germany and Ukraine for their “exemplary international collaboration” in a recent operation in which a stolen Caravaggio painting was recovered and an alleged international art theft gang broken up. The painting, known as the “Taking of Christ” or the “Kiss of Judas” and reportedly worth tens of millions of Euros, is considered a national treasure in Ukraine. It was stolen two years ago from the Museum of Western European and Oriental Art in Odessa. |

Amazing
Genesis Artist Colors™
The only fine art paint that dries when you
want it to. |
| What type of paint is GENESIS? GENESIS is new fine art
paint that is neither an oil nor acrylic — but an easy-to-use, revolutionary new
painting systems organized and designed to free artists from the restrictions inherent in
using oils and acrylics.
While very similar to oil paint in feel, opacity, translucence and application, GENESIS
HEAT-SET ARTIST OILS solve the 2 key problems that discourage painting activity:
- Set-up and clean-up
- Drying time. (Oils are too slow and acrylics are too fast.)
How does GENESIS dry only when I want it to?
Because of GENESIS paint’s unique “drying-on-demand” formulation. All
other paints dry through a process of evaporation or oxidation. This drying process can
range from a few minutes (too quick at times - especially on brushes and mixing tray) to
weeks or months (too slow). GENESIS will dry when exposed to a temperature of about
250ºF. For the first time, artists can control precisely when and where their paint dries
by simply applying heat with our GENESIS Drying Gun or GENESIS Full Canvas Drying Box.
How long does it take to dry?
Just a few minutes. Actual drying time depends on the thickness of the paint and the
surface it is being dried on.
What is the difference between GENESIS and the new water miscible oil
paints?
The basic nature of the paint is different. GENESIS uses a non-drying base medium. The
others are based on different chemistries requiring various amounts of evaporation drying.
Is it water-soluble? Is it water or solvent based?
GENESIS is neither water nor solvent based, but solvents may be used to thin and clean.
It is not water soluble, However soap and water may be used for clean-up.
Why do you sell GENESIS in jars rather than tubes?
Messy tubes are required for paints that will dry when exposed to the air. Often, it is
difficult to know exactly what the color in the tube will look like. On the other hand,
jars are easier to open and allow you to see the color you are buying or storing on a
shelf. Better yet, jars allow you to get at all the paint you have purchased, and can be
reused to store custom blends you want to keep. Because GENESIS paint stays wet in the jar
even if uncovered there’s no waste. Jars can stay uncovered and available for you to
paint any time you want.

| Can I apply oils or acrylics under or over GENESIS? Because
of the very different chemical compositions, using other painting mediums with GENESIS may
not get you the results you are looking for. You can experiment with combinations to see
if you get the desired results. Do not blend GENESIS together with oils or acrylics.
What thinning and blending mediums can I use and what about using
solvents?
We recommend you use the GENESIS Glazing, Thinning and Thick Mediums to alter the flow
characteristics. For permanent thinning of the paint, the non-solvent GENESIS Thinning
Mediums should be used. You can also use a solvent such as mineral spirits or turpentine
for thinning purposes, but do not use traditional oil painting mediums such as linseed
oil.
Is there any odor?
Great news! GENESIS paint has virtually no odor either in its wet state or as it dries.
How do you clean up?
• Palette: Just remove excess quantities of paint with a palette knife or spatula,
then use a window cleaner and soft cloth to wipe the glass palette clean.
• Brushes: Since GENESIS does not dry, you do not have to clean your brushes
— even if you do not paint again for months. Many artists don’t clean their
brushes, particularly if they are painting with the same color! To clean, soap and warm
water can be used. Some artists prefer rubbing alcohol or a solvent such as mineral
spirits to clean.
Are the paints non-toxic?
YES! GENESIS paints and mediums are non-toxic and AP approved through ACMI and labeled
according to ASTM D-4236. If you would like further information or a Material Safety Data
Sheet, call, write or fax to the address below.
