I took a group of artists to KAUAI to paint again this year. It was pretty wonderful! So much so that I’m already reserving dates
February 2 – 17, 2017
Awash in tropical color and light, it’s no wonder Kauai is an artist magnet. You may want to consider going. Send an email and I’ll put you on my list.

Interested in the painting retreat for Feb 2017. What are the medium, prices et al
Hi Celine,
I have a couple of openings left for 2017. My medium is watercolor / watermedia and participants for my workshops might be oil painters, color pencil artists or fiber artists as well as watermedia people. Price is $1700, including the 12-day workshop, double occupancy room. More details here: http://rene-art.com/kauai-art-retreat/ I just updated the brochure to 2017. Let me know if you have other questions!
I recently had the opportunity to explore your captivating painting titled “On the Island of Kauai” on your website, and I must say it left me enthralled. Your artistic portrayal of the island’s beauty and serenity truly captures the essence of Kauai.
The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in your artwork transport the viewer to the island, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder. The lush greenery, the majestic mountains, and the sparkling blue waters all come to life on the canvas. Your skillful brushstrokes and use of light and shadow add depth and dimension, making the scene feel incredibly immersive.
Moreover, your composition skillfully guides the viewer’s gaze, drawing our attention to the focal points of the painting while still allowing us to appreciate the overall harmony of the landscape. The way you’ve captured the interplay between the sun-kissed clouds and the glistening ocean is particularly mesmerizing.
Beyond the technical aspects, your painting also conveys a sense of emotional connection to the place. It seems as though you have not only captured the physical beauty of Kauai but also its soul—the intangible essence that makes the island so enchanting. Looking at your artwork, one can almost feel the gentle sea breeze and hear the distant sounds of nature.
I commend your ability to translate the awe-inspiring beauty of Kauai onto the canvas and share it with the world. Your work serves as an invitation to appreciate and protect the natural wonders that surround us. Thank you for reminding us of the profound impact that art can have on our perception of the world.
I eagerly look forward to exploring more of your artistic creations and being transported to different corners of the world through your imaginative lens. Keep up the exceptional work!
