Summer season is finally upon us, which means nice weather to get outside
and be active. If you’re looking for something to do, why not try tennis?
Playing tennis on a regular basis helps maintain and improve balance, agility,
fitness, strength and mobility. It can also reduce blood pressure, burn calories and serve as a stress reducer. The benefi ts of tennis also include helping
reduce the risk of heart disease.
If you’re interested in taking up tennis, Big Sky and Bozeman have some
great opportunities. In Bozeman from June 13 to Sept. 28, the Bozeman
B-League meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at the
Bozeman High School Courts on North 11th Ave. The types of play include
social, casual doubles, mixed doubles, and singles. You can join for a fee of
$40 plus $10 membership to the Bozeman Tennis Association. To sign up
contact bozemantennis@gmail.com.
The Bozeman Tennis Association also provides summer tennis lessons. Adult ses-
sions are July 12 – Aug. 4, and Aug. 9 – Sept. 1. The kids’ lessons are July 11-14, and
Aug. 1-4. To sign up contact Cheryl at (406) 522 -9016 or cclitle@yahoo.com.
Tennis players in Big Sky can use the newly resurfaced courts off of Little
Coyote Road thanks to Big Sky Tennis Association and community donations. For information contact Kimberly Maxwell at (406) 369-3008.
As for tennis camps, Camp Big Sky is providing one camp for kids ages 5-10
as a part of the United States Tennis Association’s Quick Start program. The
lead instructor is Julie Towle. She and her staff will provide a chance for kids
to learn basic tennis skills. They will use smaller courts, nets, balls and rack-
ets to make it easier for the kids to learn.
The camp starts Wednesday July 20, and will be every Wednesday and Friday
from 9 – 10 a.m. This cost is TBA. For more information, and to purchase smaller-sized rackets and balls for $25 contact Katie Coleman at (406) 209-1634.
For adults who are looking to learn how to play tennis in Big Sky, tennis pro
Jason Swanson is available for formal tennis lessons. Contact him at (406)

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.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
