“Town Crier” newsletter – Briefs from the Region (2) – 5/15/20
On May 12, Park County Sheriff’s Office deputies discovered a horrific sight—17 dogs, neglected and abandoned, tethered to six-foot chains and living in barrels, at a Paradise Valley residence. One Alaskan Husky was dead upon arrival, and another was in such poor condition the veterinarian at the Stafford Animal Shelter in Livingston determined it needed to be put down. “They were pretty rough. They had been left for a while by themselves. They just needed some care,” Sara Shier, the Animal Care Supervisor at the shelter, told KPAX. In all, some 15 dogs—12 Alaskan Huskies, two Jack Russell Terriers and one Australian Cattle Dog-Heeler cross—were successfully rescued from their inhumane conditions and are recovering nicely at the shelter. A post by the shelter has gone viral, and now adoption requests from around the nation are pouring in, reports KRTV. Adoptions will be processed pending legal investigation, a lucky break for the abused souls.

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.
