Jo Sonja Artist Colors & Mediums - 40% OffThis week only: Take an extra 10% off on Unpainted Shaker Boxes and Design Bundles
Over the years bentwood (shaker) boxes have been some of Jo Sonja’s favorite surfaces. The companies that used to manufacture them for us have been long gone and the ones available just either didn't meet our expectations or were prohibitively priced.
We once again have exceptional, high quality Shaker Style Bentwood Boxes. We are now having different sizes custom made to match the traditional sizes that we have used and match the designs.
We have many different designs from over the years that Jo Sonja has done for these boxes. The designs below have been newly updated and are ready to go with this surface.

New Color Trends!
Jo Sonja® Color Trends - (formerly known as Background Colors) the NEW 2025 tube packaging for our previous Background Color bottle line.
The same colors and formulations in a more economical size. The clear tube shows a full view of the color and allows the last drop of color to be squeezed out without leaving any in a bottle.
Color Trends are the same "Background Matte Flow Acrylics" that are specially formulated to provide one coat coverage on most surfaces. Since we use only professional pigments in all of our paints, all of the Color Trend colors can be easily mixed from the tube color line. However, if you need large quantities, or just prefer the convenience of pre-mixed colors, this new packaging will be perfect for your needs.

Matte Flow Acrylics
and Mediums
Jo Sonja® Matte Flow Acrylics are flow formula acrylics offering the opacity of color 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.
