As Gallatin County, and likely Big Sky, enters this new era of documenting COVID-19 cases, we want to help keep you informed and are setting up resources to help do this. We take the job of being Big Sky’s news source seriously and are compiling measures to be an effective communication tool for you.
Below
you will see a few links and methods for you to gain access to important
information, breaking news and an ongoing news thread including information
associated with COVID-19 in our area.
Our team at the Explore Big Sky newspaper is dedicating more resources to consistent coverage of the coronavirus and how it is affecting our community, our businesses, our schools, our healthcare system. We will be updating our website and social media platforms regularly with articles and the latest information on closings and cancellations, as well as interviews with community leaders, physicians and area residents. Please email us at joe@theoutlawpartners.com with any suggestions or questions.
Big
Sky has a unique community structure, lacking typical governance and town
councils to lead during these times. Moreover, Big Sky has always relied on
business and community leaders to address our needs and this is proving to once
again be the case during these times. We have been in touch with a variety of
the local business leaders and are inspired by the ongoing discussions, cooperation,
forward planning and neighborly behavior they are exhibiting. Many of the plans
being discussed will be outlined and communicated with you over the coming
weeks.
Our job at EBS is not to sensationalize news or incite panic. Our job is to keep you–our friends, supporters and community members–informed. This too shall pass, and when it does it our job will shift to helping put our resources behind reinvigorating our community with business, tourism, events and energy.
Feel free to reach out to us at any time with questions, tips or suggestions. Let’s work together in these trying times.
Sincerely,
Eric Ladd, Publisher

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.
