2016 was a very eventful year globally. What was your own highlight of the past year?
Spencer Crider Big Sky, Montana
“Catching a tarpon in the Florida Keys—my first one ever. I was in the Keys visiting my cousin, who is also a fly-fishing guide in Big Sky in the summer.”
Amy Langmaid Big Sky, Montana
“The highlight of my year personally was that I went on a fantastic trip to Italy. But as a Big Sky community member, I’d say the highlight of my year was enjoying the summer activities and how much busier it’s gotten in Big Sky. And I always love the [Big Sky] PBR. Enjoying the summer and it being a [busy] season now, instead of just winter.”
Rebecca Locke Big Sky, Montana
“Going to Nepal. I was volunteering out there with All Hands Volunteers; they were rebuilding schools that had been destroyed in the earthquake last year. That was definitely the highlight of my year.”
Will Norris Big Sky, Montana
“We had some epic catches this year [while] fly fishing. I’d say my favorite part of the year was the spruce moth hatch … it doesn’t happen every year. It was amazing this year and it coordinated with my [August] wedding, so everyone was in town. I got married, the fishing was awesome and all my friends had a good time.”

This experience can activate and clear the chakras, release trauma, reset the nervous system, connect us with higher consciousness, and help us achieve self-actualization.

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.
