BIG SKY—There are endless community
benefits of trails, greenways
and parks.
They create a sense of community;
benefit the economy through tourism
and civic improvement; preserve
and restore open space; allow for a
connection to nature; and provide
opportunities for physical activity to
improve fitness and mental health.
Trails also provide necessary links for
wildlife between fragmented habitats.
The Big Sky Community Corporation
is hosting National Trails Day
work projects to help improve its trail
system. All Trails Day projects are
family-friendly and include finishing
and repairing trails, refinishing
tables and benches, and removing the
winter’s accumulation of debris from
the trails.
The Big Sky Community Corporation
has built and manages over 16 miles
of trails in Big Sky. The trails are
integrated with historic sites, commercial
and residential areas, parks,
national forest, and serve to improve
the overall character of the community.
Broad participation, collaborative
partnerships, and ongoing monitoring
and feedback have made our park
and trails projects successful.
All projects will be headquartered
at the Big Sky Community Park,
located off Little Coyote, in the Big
Sky Meadow. Participants can help in
two-hour increments or all morning.
The two-hour times begin at 9, 10
and 11 a.m. After the work projects,
a BBQ lunch will be provided at the
pavilion. Some tools are provided,
but participants are asked to bring
shovels, rakes or wheelbarrows if
possible. Gloves, sunscreen, water
bottles and appropriate footwear and
clothing are required.
The BSCC strives to include all
aspects of the community in its
projects, and is currently hosting a
contest for elementary students at
Ophir School to name a section of the
newest community park trail.

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.
