In two recent incidents on Oct. 5 and 9, tractor-trailer trucks crashed on Highway 191 in Gallatin Canyon. How do you think these accidents could be mitigated in the canyon?

“Maybe lower the truck speed limit and increase penalties for speeding truckers. There could be a certain window of time when semi traffic is allowed in conjunction with other traffic.”

“The possibility of building another lane would enable vehicles to be routed around accidents or slow moving tractor-trailer trucks. [But] it’s a tough situation to negotiate with a mountain on one side and a river on the other.”
Mike Sollott,Big Sky, Mont. Investment Manager
“Have them come through at certain hours, or limit the size of trucks that travel through. Ideally, re-route traffic and find another way for them to travel. Maybe an alternative route would be through Ennis.”

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.
