Is traffic an issue in Big Sky? And if so, how could it be improved?
Marcus Fay, Big Sky, Mont. Customer Sales Representative, East Slope Outdoors
“I think the traffic signals, lights and lanes have yet to catch up to the development.”
Colin Mathews, Big Sky, Mont. Owner, Creighton Block Gallery
“There’s an enormous amount of construction-related traffic in the morning and at the end of the work day. It is sometimes annoying to wait at the stop sign at the intersection of Two Moons Road and Lone Mountain Trail, which shows how lovely and how spoiled we have been in our corner of paradise. I would much prefer to see the problem handled with patience on the part of local drivers than with a stoplight.”
Kendra Schwartz, Big Sky, Mont. Beadsmith, Ari O Jewelry
“The traffic here on Ousel [Falls Road] is definitely a problem, all the construction traffic … distracted people looking up at Lone Peak while they’re driving. Unfortunately, I think we’re going to need a light out there. That’s not what I want to see, but the traffic is an accident waiting to happen.”

Event Details
We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
