Jo Sonja's Decorative Painting System developed as a result of collaboration between innovative paint company, Chroma, and renowned American Folk Artist, Jo Sonja Jansen. The commitment of both, was the development of a brand that used today's exciting technologies to harness the techniques of the past so that a lasting heritage would be produced for the future.

As one of the first to bring Decorative Art to Australia through her travel teaching, Jo Sonja Jensen was able to ensure that the colours and mediums in the range met the exacting standards of serious Decorative Painters. The brand was first introduced to the market in 1985 and quickly become synonymous with fine quality and versatility, a position it maintains today.

Jo Sonja Artists' Colours are used by leading artists around the world and are the only true professional quality paints available specifically for decorative art.

No special instruction is necessary to use Jo Sonja's colours, they are not difficult to use. Artists' quality materials are always easier to use than students' and craft quality.

Jo Sonja's Artists Colours are two to three times stronger than bottled craft colours, as well as being permanent.

Forget the need to purchase endless quantities of paint for different uses - the compact range of Jo Sonja's Colours is all you ever need.
