Nicholas Simmons Watercolor Demo

Author: debiwatson | Posted: 30-03-2009 | Category: Art Inspiration

simmons1Nicholas Simmons came to the York Art Association this Sunday and did a wonderful watercolor demonstration for us.

I had been impressed by his watercolor painting, which won “Best of Show” at the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society’s last juried exhibition, and more impressed by Nick himself.

Nick has a video on painting, but there is nothing like seeing the artist actually painting.   I  will drive two or three hours to see a demonstration, as I learn a lot about painting that way.  Some are so-so, but some are beyond great, and Nic’s watercolor demo was exactly that.

    Lucky you. I have Nick’s dvd but would love to see him paint in person.

    I had a great time there, Debi, thanks to your organization and enthusiasm. Now I know you didn’t drive 2 or 3 hrs, hopefully not more than 2 or 3 blocks! Next time I’ll close the van before the ice storm hits. See you soon, Nick

    Debi,

    Just wanted to say thanks for making this watercolor DEMO with Nick happen,it was very enjoyable.

    The other thing is it was very nice to get a chance to hear your thoughts about the art world/watercolors.

    Thanks again Debi, for being you!
