Has anyone had experience with Genesis paints?
Since I can no longer work in oils because of adverse chemical sensitivities , I am always looking for a new archival medium that will work like oils. An artist friend suggested that I try Genesis heat set paints.

My friend is a portrait and figurative artist and loves these paints. While in her studio I noticed about 20 brushes standing out that were loaded with paint. They had been that way for days! She leaves them that way because they never dry until heat set.. Her palette had been loaded with paint for days as well without drying out.
She says she can work a passage on her canvas until satisfied and then heat set it with a heat gun. It only takes seconds and she can move onto the next layer. Clean up when needed is with rubbing alcohol.
I can't tell which of her paintings were done in oil or the Genesis paints. I must say I was impressed.
I would appreciate any experience other artists have had with this product.
