Made by North America’s only sailing brand, Mustang Survival is a great addition to your outdoor wardrobe and can be used for year-round recreation. I tested these baselayers during a bitterly cold nighttime ski tour in Big Sky, and here is my report card:
Weight: A-. The Regulate baselayer system is offered in both 230 weight and 175 weight, in tops and bottoms. EBS tested the 230 weights, which proved incredibly lightweight and breathable. You will hardly notice you’re wearing them.
Warmth: A+. The union of synthetics and wool wicks moisture away from your skin and regulates temperature during exercise. The layers keep your core as cozy as if you’re sitting by a fire during sub-freezing weather.
Comfort: A. These duds can also double as pajamas.
Fit: A. Not too tight or too loose. The stretchy design retains fit and reduces wear and tear.
Function: A+. The quick-drying synthetic material results in dry yet cool summer use while the blend of Merino wool keeps you warm during winter activities. These don’t just hang up to dry until next season. – Ersin Ozer

Event Details
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.
