Jo Sonja's Artist Colours

 The Acrylic 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 colors 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 Information on Metallics below).
• Suitable for all surfaces including paper, paper mache, 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 colours 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, 1oz = 5 sq ft.

Available in: 75ml/ 2.5 us fl oz tubes.  Select colours are also available in 250ml / 8.4 US fl oz bottles or in 20ml / 0.65 US fl oz tube sets.

Jo Sonja's Metallic Colours.

Jo Sonja's Brillaint Metallic Colours are formulated using mica pigments, high quality, heavy bodied pigments that will not tarnish over time.  Compatable 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 use directly into colours to achieve irridescent effects.

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