Outlaw PartnersWe ‘spring ahead’ on Mar. 8 due to daylight savings time. Why do you or why don’t you believe we should still recognize DST? Can you share any stories when DST intervened in your life?

“Our son here takes the bus and his bus pickup time is 6:45 [a.m.]. When you fall back an hour, it’s pitch dark in the morning and there’s poor lighting where the bus stop is, therefore there’s concern of the kid’s safety [and] what not. You would rather not have any time changes for the safety of the kids because it’s not in the schools budget to have designated bus stops with proper lighting because that would cost millions and millions of dollars, so that’s why I would oppose daylight savings time. I would want to not have it change all the time.”

“I usually wake up at like 6 [a.m.] … I woke up at 5 and walked out the door at 5:45 thinking that my bus was there; it wasn’t. I don’t really like daylight savings time at all.”

“I would say at this point it’s pretty outdated. I mean honestly, yes agriculture is still big, but it’s not as important as it used to be…You can run a tractor at night, it has headlights, so you don’t need as much daylight.”

“I would have to say personally I do not always agree with daylight savings time. However, I understand the original intention and if it is still appreciated by those who must work outdoors. If a farmer can get up earlier and have daylight to finish his work and be able to have dinner with his family then that’s a reason to support it in my opinion. However, for the rest of the population I think it poses an inconvenience and would more than likely be supported to be removed.”

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.
