Outlaw PartnersThe inaugural TEDxBigSky event Jan. 28 was an undeniable success from a speaker, organizer and audience point of view. A strong thread of resilience—of not giving up—ran through an otherwise fascinatingly diverse line-up of speakers, perspectives and topics. For Ersin Ozer, Outlaw Partners Media and Events Director, TEDxBigSky license holder and master of ceremonies, the evening far exceeded his lofty expectations.
“I thought it was amazing. You spend so much time envisioning something in your head and working on it for months; to see it all come to fruition is incredible,” Ozer said. “There was a moment backstage when I realized it was happening and it was going so well, and that I was standing next to one of my athlete idols [Andrew Crawford] and I’m about introduce him … it was so cool.”
Ozer also enjoyed working with a committee of friends and mentors from the Big Sky community to make TEDxBigSky a reality—and that they’re already thinking about next year.

“It was such a wonderful experience to be in Big Sky and feel the warm hospitality of this great community.” – Parisa Khosravi

“What an awesome event you put on last night, congratulations! It was even better than I imagined.” – Mia Lennon

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.
