Here’s how you put the YETI Tundra 45-quart cooler to the test:
1.) Fill it up with a variety of drinks and ice. For this test I used chocolate milk, Hiball energy drinks, Alta Palla lemonades, and some local microbrews. The Tundra 45 claims a 26-can capacity, we fit 30 cans plus three bags of ice.
2.) Load in car and drive 150 miles across the state on a 75-degree sunny day. YETI’s Coldlock gasket seals keep cold air from escaping while locking out warm air, no matter the temperature outside.
3.) Arrive at destination and place cooler outside in the grass. The dual polyester handles are burly and molded into the body of the cooler, making it easy to lift this bad boy even when packed full.
4. Open the cooler six hours later. If your ice hasn’t melted and your chocolate milk is still glacier cold after exposing your YETI to hours of muggy outdoor temperatures (plus two hours of drive time in the back of a warm car), your cooler passed the test with flying colors. YETI implements 3 inches of pressure-injected polyurethane foam in the walls and lid, which prevented the ice from melting and kept our drinks freezing cold.
Conclusion: Believe what you’ve heard and go get your own. YETI coolers are the best on the market for any activity whether it’s a day of yard work, a camping trip or a day on the water. – Ersin Ozer

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.
