Art Materials

MaryJo starts with an overview of fine art supplies: gesso, acrylic paint, gel & glazing mediums, glues, wax & polish, dry masking, and pigments.

Faux Burl Wood

You'll be amazed at what you can create using a bit of clear tar gel and some shoe polish.

Coasters Makeover

Using some gesso, paint, and rubber stamps MaryJo transforms inexpensive coasters into miniature works of art.

Veiled Illusions

Beeswax works as both an adhesive and a textural element for all kinds of projects. In Veiled Illusions, MaryJo uses beeswax to enhance greeting cards and book covers.

Extras

Our DVDs always include some extra features: an interactive gallery, an index of all of MaryJo's tips and tricks, and a few bloopers that we hope will make you smile.

I didn't realize just how versatile my art supplies are or that I could use them in such a wide range of projects. As I watched this DVD, there must have been at least a hundred times or more when the "light bulb" came on for me and left me saying.."Oh, hey....I didn't know that."...or "NOW I understand!!!".

Cloud 9 Product Reviews Nov 2005

Watching PageSage educational DVDs is a real treat for the mind. Not only are they stimulating by getting the creative juices flowing, but they remind you of supplies you may have already in your stash that you have not utilized to their potential. Exploring Art Materials with MaryJo McGraw is one such DVD. Not only does she have TONS of information for you as the viewer but she has a terrific way to present it.

Scrap Friends Jan 2006

The menu option plays each one of the segments in art materials and projects so you can stop and start as many times as you like. While I have never been in a class with MaryJo, this is like getting a front row seat as she teaches how to do each one of these projects.
