On Jan. 27, the Big Sky Resort Tax Board voted to continue the legislative effort on a “Penny for Housing” bill.
If the legislation passes and a ballot measure is put before voters, would you vote in favor of a 1-percent increase in resort tax for workforce housing? Why or why not?
Laura MacPhersonBig Sky, Montana
“I would say yes, because we really need it in Big Sky. We want the workforce to be a part of our community and not be pushed out—we need affordable housing in order for that to be possible.”
C.J. RadkeBig Sky, Montana
“I would say no, because first I want to see the full plan. If I’m going to pay into the program, I want to know that my employees are going to be able to utilize the program.”
Hannah VictoryBig Sky, Montana
“I would vote for it, because I think it’s important to keep this community going. It’s booming right now and we need to keep it growing to keep our own lives going. But I think the tax needs to be dispersed in a way that it doesn’t become a burden for our community [members].”

“I would vote for it, but I think it’s important to identify the right location for affordable employee housing. I don’t necessary feel like the Mountain Village is the right place for it with its high property values.”

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.
