Traffic on Montana Highway 64 and Highway 191 has increased dramatically. What is the most frightening thing you’ve encountered driving to, or in, Big Sky?
Adam Priquette,Manhattan, Mont. Driver, Karst Stage
“[Just after a light snowfall, Highway 191] had been wet and the truck in front of me, a Toyota 4Runner, rolled into a rock wall about a mile south of the House Rock turnoff. I think she got to a spot where the road was shaded and slick, and she didn’t realize it, and lost control of the vehicle … That’s just one of numerous [accidents] – I’ve seen so many.”
Lucas Westblade,Big Sky, Mont. Youth Minister, Young Life
“[On Dec. 19] I saw one just north of Karst. I think a truck overcorrected going around that corner. Thankfully no one was hurt … I think early in the winter people forget how to drive and you have lots of tourists who maybe haven’t driven in the winter.”
Paul Swenson,Big Sky, Mont. Lone Peak High School Teacher
“[On Dec. 19], I saw three wrecks on the way down to Bozeman, between the Conoco and House Rock, in an hour span. One car went clear across the other lane and off into the field.”

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.
