It’s
been six months since the inaugural Peak to
Sky concert event and one could argue it’s taken
that long time for the proverbial dust to settle in the Big Sky Events
Arena.
It
was there, in that assembly of rodeo-style bleachers surrounding the dirt arena,
that four Rock and Roll Hall of Famers—Mike McCready, Chad Smith, Josh
Klinghoffer and Duff McKagan—joined by Grammy-winning artists the likes of
Taylor Hawkins and Brandi Carlile, truly rocked the Big Sky community, setting
the town’s summer events bar to previously unthinkable heights.
Now,
after months of anticipation, buzz and nostalgia, Outlaw Partners, the Big
Sky-based event’s producer and publisher of this newspaper, is announcing dates
for the second Peak to Sky concert event.
On Aug. 7-8, a new assembly of renowned performers will descend upon Big Sky for two new nights of rock ‘n’ roll excellence, curated again by world-class rock legend Mike McCready. Ticket prices and sale dates will be announced soon.
Some good advice as we embark on a new year in a new decade: save the date.

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.
