Innovative Watermedia Techniques


Nicholas Simmons incorporates blooms, crawl-backs, bleeding and puddling, and demonstrates methods for integrating masked areas with wet-in-wet painting. Nick mixes watercolor with fluid acrylic, encourages the paper to buckle, and boldly wields a spray bottle to achieve textural effects.

Anticipating his own tendencies, he works safeguards into his process. This approach is perfect for artists striving to achieve a looser look while still maintaining control of the final painting. The workshop is approximately 2 hours in length with bonus tracks of music written and performed by Nicholas Simmons.

Two thumbs up for everyone  -  by L. Lynch from Sun City West, AZ

The Artist's intro of materials was excellent and to the point. I especially appreciated the review of the brushes because I was curious about the size he used for a support that big. I rarely use masque because while I have a million acrylic brushes they are good ones, ones that I do not want to damage. Thanks to the tip from Simmons, I'm going to buy a package of the cheap ones on my next art store trip. Appreciated the advice about bending the ferrule to fit the bottle, and running the bead around the edge. I liked too that he showed us how to cut a large sheet, but that he did not labor over it, or any intro to the materials.

Talking effectively as one paints is a talent reserved for those painters who actually know what they are talking about. Simmons does that effortlessly. Nuttall does too. It's an engaging style because it makes the
demo personal, like you are in the room with the Artist. If I sit for more than 10 minutes I fall asleep and I didn't so that alone is a 5-star rating for this DVD.

The production was done professionally. I could see all that Simmons did up close, and the color was great. I loved the guitar music too, and was pleased to see the credit that it was the Artist's own. Something else my
hero Nuttall does.

So, 5-star rating all around. Two thumbs up for everyone, especially Simmons.

Best Quality of Any Teaching Video I've Seen  -  by Ed D. from unspecified

I recently purchased the Nicholas Simmons DVD. The quality and color of this production is the best by far of any teaching video I've encountered. Your staff should be congratulated. The camera work was unexcelled.

Great Job

Wonderful work. You have no equals in this field.

I loved it!  -  by Niclas J from Sweden

Hi there at CCP! I´ve got my dvd with Nicholas Simmons, and I loved it! Great angles and a fantastic painter/teacher, Nicholas! Thanks CCP!

one of the best instructional art DVDs that I have seen.  -  by Sandra W. from Wetcanvas

I have recently received my copy of "Innovative Water Media" with Nicholas Simmons.

It is one of the best instructional art DVDs that I have seen. Nicholas is relaxed, easy to listen to and the photography was perfect...Thank you all for a wonderful production.

It was a WOW experience!  -  by Rose from http://www.aceosbyrose.com

I received Nick's CCP video and let me tell you, it was a WOW experience.

Not only is Nick nice to look at, he is very professional, he has a command of his media, he goes through every single step of how he does a koi painting, all two hours of it, and I wish it were more! It is a very expert
video. Nick is not nervous at all, he has lovely music that he has composed for the video that is incorporated within, increasing the enjoyment. He really makes everything look so easy and the thing I liked about it was that he said things don't have to be PERFECT.

Loosen up and have fun, do something different and off the beaten path.

This is the absolute BEST art workshop on DVD ever!!  -  by Mary Lou from unspecified

BRAVO!! This is the absolute BEST art workshop on DVD ever!!

I've had the pleasure of *knowing* Nick online through WetCanvas, and finally got to meet him and his beautiful wife Olga and daughter Larissa last fall at the NWS show where he took the Silver Medal for 'Fresh Sushi'.
(What a fabulous painting that is up close and personal.)

Thank you so much for listening when we enthusiastically encouraged you to film Nick in action. It was definitely worth the wait... :)

Congratulations on a best seller, and I wish you much continued success...
