Meticulously Developed for Artists

Every detail of our watercolours has been rigorously tested and refined. From selecting the finest gum arabic and distilling our own water to using ethical vegetable-based glycerin and fine-tuning our preservative for shelf life, we focus on quality without compromise.

We’ve conducted extensive research on UV resistance, pigment lightfastness, and global sourcing to ensure long-lasting, dependable colour. Our paints are designed to avoid cracking in pans and offer smooth reactivation with just a damp brush.

Thoughtful Tube and Label Design

Our tubes are engineered for ease of use—featuring smooth viscosity, anti-spurt design, and classic artist-friendly caps. Labels are crafted in-house for clear colour identification and a professional, cohesive presentation on your palette or shelf.

Driven by Passion and Chemistry

Every element of Jackman’s Art Materials is created with the artist in mind, led by founder and chemist Marc Jackman. As he puts it:

“The process of getting paint from the tube to the palette—or rewetting it—should be seamless. Even the smallest disruption can interrupt the flow of creativity. That’s why we continually refine every detail of our products.”
