On Nick’s Facebook page, back in August he wrote about some health problems he had and everyone wished him a speedy recovery. I used to correspond with Nick about 8-10 years ago.. he was the nicest person, always uplifting and encouraging, he loved his wife and daughter fiercely and was a passionate and gifted human being.
I don’t know where the post is, but awhile back Nick Simmons showed us what he ‘stamps’ on the back of his originals. It was such a good idea that I had a stamp made made. This seems like a better idea than a cert. of authenticty because it becomes a permenant part of the work, and can not be lost, or removed.
I wasn’t aware of either one of them…. although I did see while browing through Arnold Lowery’s posts in the watercolor forum that he and Nick Simmons are great friends… The thing I like about using acrylics like watercolors – as opposed to using traditional watercolors – is that the previous layers don’t lift.
I use a 3/8″ Simmons for smallish paintings and it’s especially nice for little ATC-sizes, but I like a big brush, compared to my paper. The great thing about the dagger is how versatile it is. The angled side lays down nice big washes, along with other effects one gets from a flat and the point is like a rigger, as others have mentioned.
I just use water – soap and water in the final stages to clean the brushes. I usually apply a sealing coat of medium first, dry a day or so, then the varnish with at least 2 coats in different directions.
Nick *sent a query to Art Treehouse about this as it’s not too clear. Hello, Maybe a little late, but I used the plain oil in a section of a painting, if my memory serves me right, the medium used was something like this: 1 part Canada Balsam 1 Part Linseed Oil 1 part Lavender Oil 2 Parts Turpentine. The drying time was approximately 4 days.
(3) Does the quality of the watercolor brush matter as much for ink as it does for watercolor? I was planning to grab a modest little set of Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolor brushes. I had also picked out a Robert Simmons Simply Simmons round 10 and 1” flat wash. (the simply simmons are about $4 a piece).

Another filbert fan here. I use them for almost everything. Recently I bought some Robert Simmons angled brushes and I love these for foliage. I use brights for sharp lines. But filberts are my everyday workhorse. Judy
This is not Complete Manual of Relief Printmaking by authors Katie Clemson and Rosemary Simmons. I am not sure who put this file together originally but just to clarify this is a series of notes and some diagrams on printmaking, but doesn’t just focus on relief printmaking. There are some pages related to etching and also serigraphy.
