Don Sahli Workshop

Don Sahli has been a professional painter for more than 40 years. He apprenticed with Sergei Bongart, and trained in the Russian School of Colorism. Don cultivates and keeps the Russian tradition alive through his teaching and painting, cotinuing the legacy of Fechin, Gaspard, Bongart and other famous Russian-American artists. Classes are always informative and Don's use of vibrant color and spontaneous technique make for a fun learning experience.

Bring a protective table covering, trash bag for your use, lunch and water. For complete supply list, see and print out: Supply List Don prefers that students put their paints on their palette in the order shown on the supply list sheet.  If you do not have all the colors bring what you have in your personal supply. Don brings supplies with him for purchase and his supply list can be found on his website (https://sahlistudio.com) It is best to pre-order from him.  His plein air painting days are so informative and students who have previously taken plein air classes  with Don have  nothing but praises for his in-depth instruction.  Do not be afraid of the plein air day-it will be the best thing you can do for your landscape paintings! You will need a plein air easel or rent one from Don...  many of us have extra supplies. Any questions, please call 970-471-0853.
