BIG SKY – The local Rotary Club is now accepting applications for its 10th Annual George Macdonald Scholarship worth $2,000, to be awarded to a Big Sky resident attending college or a vocational post-high school program. The deadline for applying is April 30.
The criteria for the scholarship will be based on financial need, community service and academic performance. A school transcript and detailed description of community service is required.
A committee of three Rotarians will review each application, and a winner will be announced by May 31. The scholarship will be awarded directly to the student upon receipt of a tuition bill.
All information provided to the review committee will be kept strictly confidential to the members of that committee.
The George Macdonald Scholarship is funded by community support, through the Rotary Club of Big Sky’s annual Gold Raffle and Auction held each January.

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.
