Did you vote in the recent midterm elections? If so, what were the major issues for you? If not, why?
Jean White Big Sky, Montana
“I voted and the main issue for me is environmental. That’s not even listed 90 percent of the time when they scroll through the polls. But that’s very important for me.”
Roberta Adair Big Sky, Montana
“You’re asking old people on Medicare. You should ask some younger people. Healthcare will always be a leading issue with them. We all have good insurance, so it matters less to us.”
Cybyl Hancock Big Sky, Montana
“No, I didn’t. I’m from Alaska. I wasn’t sure how to register. I’m kind of on my own down here and didn’t know anyone to ask.”
Chad Riffle Big Sky, Montana
“Yes. I guess the main things for me were the House and Senate races. And I-185, the tobacco issue. I wanted it to pass so that we could expand eligibility for Medicaid coverage by raising taxes on tobacco products.”

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.
Please join the Arts Council of Big Sky for free music from Jacob Rountree at the Wilson Hotel Lobby Bar from 5-7 p.m.
