There is a crispness in the execution of those controlled washes with a splendid sense of clarity and colour harmony. Pure watercolour practised in the most capable hands can appear deceptively simple to the observer's eye, but in fact is the culmination of a lifetime's careful observation and much experimentation with the media. Nicholas's formidable works demonstrate an artist at the peak of his creative powers.\" - David Curtis ROI RSMA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Nicholas's thoughtful engagement with the processes of watercolour goes beyond the mastering of the inherently challenging techniques of this medium. He has a refreshingly broad view of the possibilities of watercolour, and whilst he doesn't claim that the medium is easy, he produces light-filled compositions that are fresh and expressive, and easily capture the atmosphere of the scene or place.\" - Dr Sally Bulgin, The Artist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Watercolour painting is like playing a single beautiful instrument. Nicholas has tuned his instrument to express the beauty of nature to a rare degree.
