Testimonials
I love how everyone is made to feel welcome, included and accepted at every moment. Everyone’s art and attempts/experimentation were encouraged. It was such a safe and positive environment. Cooking together was so fun, too — seemed to bond us all as a group more. This whole trip was a soothing balm to my very soul and it helped me progress even more on my “healing” journey”.
I appreciated the sublime balance between island exploration and art expression — the feeling of freedom and growth. I really appreciated the demos. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves art, camaraderie and learning. Rene is generous with her knowledge and support. I think her genuine positivity & teaching skills can make an artist out of anyone who desires it. Laura is a gem and also a very special part of the experience.
I liked Rene’s positive nature, her smile and patience with everyone. She always made time for each person. Her critiques were wonderful and her painting style is fun and refreshing. Overall I give it a two thumbs up.
Most appreciated the sharing of ideas and knowledge. Would definitely recommend this to others. A fun, relaxing experience. The art and the food were above and beyond accolades!
I loved being included and accepted so warmly into the group. The accommodations are beautiful and makes it easy to interact. And the FOOD — No words, just pounds! Rene and Laura are inspirational teachers. You have me believing I could create whatever I want!
It’s a great opportunity to continue developing watercolor skills in a beautiful setting with friendly, interesting people. Great meals — a chance to relax on off days. A delightful 10 day workshop!
