Originally developed as a result of the collaboration between an innovative paint company, Chroma Pty. Ltd., and Jo Sonja Jansen, a world renowned folk and decorative artist, the Jo Sonja’s Artists’ Painting System meets the needs of all acrylic artists who demand superior, versatile products and results that stand the test of time.

Jo Sonja’s Artists’ Colours are created from the finest quality pigments and have superb lightfastness. With the addition of Jo Sonja’s Mediums, the same brilliant colours may be applied to virtually any surface including wood, glass, paper or canvas, using a wide variety of exciting techniques. This makes them more cost effective than single-use, lower quality paints.

All Jo Sonja’s products carry the Approved Product seal of the ACMI with the exception of Glass & Tile Primer which carries a Cautionary seal of the ACMI. Most products are water based for simple soap and water clean up.

Note: • Unless specifically indicated, all products within the range are

compatible however we do not guarantee compatibility with other brands.

• Product sizes may vary from country to country. Please check availability with your local distributor.

Artists’ Colours Jo Sonja’s Artists’ Colours are flow formula acrylics offering the opacity of colour and the beautiful, velvet matte finish associated with traditional gouache plus superb handling and brushing characteristics. Unlike gouache, they are water-resistant and will not chip or crack when cured.

Made from the finest quality pure pigments, the colours will remain vibrant and true for generations. They are safe, water based and clean up easily with soap and water.

• Choose from 80 exceptional colours including metallics (see below).

• Suitable for all surfaces including paper, papier maché, card, canvas, wood, fabric, tin, terracotta, glass and tile.

Directions Drying time may be accelerated with a hair dryer and warm/cool air blowing over the surface however the colours have the added advantage of drying through each other, so additional layers can be applied within minutes, without lifting the colour underneath. The colours dry a little darker than they appear when wet, approximately one value difference. They will brighten with the application of varnish.

Approximate coverage: 1ml = 157 sq cm 1 oz = 5 sq ft

Jo Sonja’s Metal l ic Colours Jo Sonja’s brilliant Metallic Colours are formulated using Mica pigments - high quality, heavy bodied pigments that will not tarnish over time. Compatible with all Jo Sonja’s Mediums, they may be used to achieve dramatic and beautiful effects in stencilling, colour bands, highlighting, line work, bronzing and Faux Finishes. Apply alone or mix directly into other colours to achieve iridescent effects.

* Note: Pearl White may be used alone (requires two to three coats) or mixed with any other colour to impart a pearlescent look.

Approximate coverage: 1ml = 157 sq cm 1 oz = 5 sq ft

BURGUNDY PR.170, PB.29

Both opaque and transparent pigments are used in the Jo Sonja’s line. Transparent pigments reflect light differently than opaque pigments, which do not allow the light to pass through. Colours labelled as transparent permit the light to pass through the transparent pigment particles, thus allowing the undercoat to show through. These make wonderful colours for glazing.
