SPONSORS AND SUPPORTING PARTNERS

“Deliciously Drenched” by Nicki Isaacson

WENATCHEE WATERCOLOR SOCIETY

AT TWO RIVERS

is a group formed about 30 years ago with an annual show at Two Rivers Gallery since 2012.

The purpose of the group is:

1. To advance members’ knowledge and skills of painting

2. Share members talents with the community

3. Encourage members artistic growth, confidence and creativity

Nicki Isaacson, our featured cover artist this month and a WWSC member, states, “I’m a detail person.” She loves capturing “things you don’t see as you rush through your day: the

GALLERY

center of a flower, the curve of a petal, the lines in a leaf, or how light glances off an apple or cherry.”

Isaacson says, “If you want to participate and hone your painting skills, you are invited to our Tuesday morning painting group from 9am to noon at Saddlerock Presbyterian. A $5 fee covers snacks and beverages, and it’s a great opportunity to meet people and experience community.”

Check it out Friday, April. 4, 5-8 p.m.
