Artist Demo – 10 January 2025
Marc Jackman
The Art and Science of Artist’s Paint Making

This demonstration will be held on 10 January 2025 in Market Hill Rooms, Royston (map) but please note that this demo and all future RAS demos will start at 7.30pm and finish at 9.30pm.

Established in November 2019,  Jackman’s Art Materials has a vision to create the highest quality art materials to give artist’s the best possible experience. Marc will show us how they achieve that goal.

Marc Jackman, Founder and Chief Chemist, grew up around the Art Materials industry with father Peter Jackman who has spent all his working life in the industry. Marc swapped his day job as an Accountant for an idea that would allow them to build something together; this idea was Jackman’s Art Materials.  It wasn’t long before attention to detail and making the highest quality watercolours became an obsession. This very quickly led onto formulating Traditional Indian Drawing Inks and later Acrylics. This fits with Marc’s natural interest in Science and always questioning ‘why’. 

Jackman’s mission is to create the purest watercolours possible, researching and working closely with artists. Their binder only consists of hand picked Kordofan Gum Arabic, distilled water, vegetable Glycerin and a touch of biocide making nearly all their watercolours vegan friendly.

They continue to work closely with pigment manufacturers and artists to ensure they get the best, most vibrant pigments possible and every batch is checked for quality and consistency.

The Flow Formula Acrylics have been designed to be mid viscosity, low rheology, low sag, low VOC, mid gloss, highly pigmented artist acrylic that also contain no extenders.
