Montana is one of four states with medical marijuana on the ballot this November.
What’s your take on expanding access to medical marijuana in Montana?
Lindsay Douglas Big Sky, Montana
“I would really love to see a recreational initiative get on the ballot, but I’m definitely happy with any medical initiatives that will keep the medicine in the patients’ hands. Patients need that … What I definitely don’t want to see is pharmaceutical companies to get control of the plant because that could be deadly … Historically what they do is synthesize cannabis or try to isolate different cannabinoids … and not only do [synthesized cannabinoids] kill people, but they have different effects.”
Tayler Christopoulos Bozeman, Montana
“I think it’s safer than pharmaceuticals … I think they should tax the hell out of it and get [Montana] out of debt. Colorado and Washington got so much money out of taxing it.”
Robert Harned Manhattan, Montana
“Here’s the question … How does a [marijuana user’s] personal life overlap with their career? … How do I, as a business owner, put that guy behind the wheel? [If] there’s an accident and they’re tested [and marijuana shows up] it’s going to limit his options moving forward because of how it’s filed.”
Cassandra Green West Yellowstone, Montana
“I’m not 100 percent sure what’s happening, mostly because I’ve been gone for awhile. I think it should be more open, easier access. I know people who need it and now they can’t get it.”

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.
