"The brush is more than a tool. It is the decisive and final connection to the painting surface, transmitting the artist's soul to the viewer -- now, and forever. Properly and lovingly handmade, it is a work of art in itself, the product of generations of tireless dedication to perfection. Escoda epitomizes the level of commitment and excellence I strive for in my own work, and I am proud to exclusively use the best artist brushes available today."

—Nicholas Simmons

Nicholas Simmons Escoda brushes are hand-crafted in Spain

Nicholas Simmons is known for his aggressively irreverent, paradigm-busting approach to watercolor painting and he stresses working in a large format for beginners. He teaches that artists can learn better control and less fear by understanding what the paint wants to do at the scale it physically wants to do it. This encourages new and old students alike, "Small mistakes can ruin small paintings. You gotta make BIG mistakes to ruin big paintings."These are just the size brushes you need for making large-scale watercolor paintings. They come packaged as two sets:Nicholas Simmons Signature Brush Set 1 — This Escoda Signature Brush Set 1 includes Barroco Round brushes in Sizes 8, 12, and 20.Nicholas Simmons Signature Brush Set 2 — Simmons's Escoda Signature Brush Set 2 includes one Size 16 Barroco Round and one Size 18 Barroco Mottler.These synthetic hair brushes are made from "BARROCO" (Gold Toray) "...one of the most popular synthetic hairs for watercolor. Made with fiber similar to the characteristics in white Toray, the Barroco series has a combination of superior diameters that allow for more spring. It has an exceptional point so artist's can work with one number of brush - medium or large - in an entire work."The Nicholas Simmons Signature Brush Sets are available at most major art supply outlets like Dick Blick Art Materials .
