Meet Jim Cobb
I am a paint maker and formulator of both artist and educational paints, but I am also an artist myself. When developing a new paint I’m always looking to add something extra. A quality that is either missing in the paint or an inherent problem that a certain paint has – such as acrylics drying too quickly, or a very young children’s paint that lacks richness, making it less than satisfying for them to use.
