Season 7, Episode 5: Interview with Marc Jackman of Jackman’s Art Materials

In this episode, Tom and Peter interview Marc Jackman, master chemist and director of Jackman’s Art Materials; one of the newest and best manufacturers of artist quality paints, in the UK. 

Marc started the company in 2019, creating watercolour paints to begin with, followed by gouache and acrylic. In this episode, Marc shares the story of how he got into the industry and answers our questions about what makes “good” paint, why some colours are always more expensive than others and shares some advice to help anyone who is running a small, artistic business.
