Escoda's Nicholas Simmons watercolor brush set no.1 includes barroco round pointed no.8, no.12 and no.20 brushes. The brushes consist of gold toray synthetic hair that is the most popular hair for watercolor. The hairs have superior diameters that allow for more spring. The late Nicholas Simmons painted in water media on a scale that rivals oil painting. His subject matter is a dazzling mix of figures juxtaposed with printed lettering, graffiti, Japanese block prints, neon lights, reflections and lavish corners of nature. He was one of six painters in the newly-formed north American watercolor artists group, which will represent the United States in various international exhibitions. Escoda has been making the finest quality artist brushes since 1933 and is world renowned for their quality and innovation in the manufacturing of fine art brushes.
