Are New Years resolutions falling by the wayside?

Many of us have grand intentions
for starting the New Year on a path
to optimal wellness.
“I want more energy…”
“I’m going to eat healthier…”
“I want to read more…”
“I want to lose some weight…”
“I will cook more at home…”
“I want to exercise more…”
It’s not so easy. How about: “I want
to make healthier choices.”
Sometimes it doesn’t feel so simple.
If making healthier choices were
easy, I wouldn’t be writing this.
Seriously, can we all give ourselves
a break from the exhaustion of
the guilt we place on each other
and ourselves? Take a deep breath
to know that we all feel this way.
We’re in this together.
We’re all aware what we could do to
increase our health and happiness.
Rather than going into shock from
the huge, overwhelming list of
healthy “to do’s,” break it down.
How about making the first of
every month a new beginning?
Choose a few healthy goals to ac-
complish, create action steps to
reach those goals, and write them
down. A dry-erase board works
well. Place your goals somewhere
you see them everyday. Include
friends and family in deciding
these goals. Their support can make
change less tedious and scary.
Here’s an example:
GOAL: INCREASE EXERCISE.
Action steps:
1. Take dog for walk every morning
and evening
2. Find a local yoga or Pilates class
and go once a week.
3. Grab a friend and share a weekly
personal training session.
Get creative! You’ll surprise your-
self with the time you can create for
yourself and the unique action steps
that work for you.
Track your progress. You may have
implemented action steps but not
quite reached your goal. No prob-
lem. Place that goal at the beginning of the accomplishments
for the next month. Bite size
morsels. Once you notice
progress, you’ll build momen-
tum and confidence to move
forward. This movement
toward a better balance in our
lives will increase our want
to make healthier choices. To
truly detoxify your lifestyle,
think about what you can add
in, not just remove.

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.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
