Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22.
What environmentally friendly practices have you adopted in your daily life?
Barbara Rupp Big Sky, Montana
“Probably the most important thing we try to do is recycle. However, it is difficult here, particularly with the glass. I find us throwing away a whole lot of glass, and I just hate to see that.”
Jacob Glynn Big Sky, Montana
“I try to reduce the amount of plastic I use … like bringing silverware somewhere if you know they only give [you] plastic silverware, like Chipotle. It’s great to just bring chopsticks or something like that. At the end of the day though, I think there’s a lot of more environmentally friendly practices that … myself and the Earth could benefit from me doing.”
Paula Alexander Four Corners, Montana
“I’m driving around with a big bag of glass in the back of my car, trying to find a place to recycle it. I usually drive it over to my friend’s house because she pays for glass recycling.”
Brian Van Eps Big Sky, Montana
“With our [Big Sky Fellowship] church we have a section of the highway that we clean, and on the 22nd for Earth Day, we as a church are cleaning up that section of highway. … I’m [also] really involved with the Gallatin River Task Force and emceed their fly fishing festival last summer. … . I help out with different events that they have and [river] cleanups.”

We will combine the heart-opening powers of cacao with the transcendental powers of breathwork and sound. Together, these practices will give us the opportunity for a deep inward journey and peak state experience. 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.
