BIG SKY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
BIG SKY – During its third organization meeting on Feb. 7, Visit Big Sky, the newly formed destination-marketing arm for the community of Big Sky, elected a group of 13 to serve as its inaugural board members. The board will oversee finances, policies and practices, strategic planning and advertising for both winter and summer.
VBS was born out of a necessity to streamline efforts for community summer and winter advertising programs.
“The process has been seamless,” said Catherine Gilb, chair-elect for the organization. “We had our first meeting in November and at that time everyone made a commitment to work together with the understanding that beginnings are most important. We are off to a great start.”
The board of directors was elected to a one-year term. Each made a commitment to help with organizational matters, near-term marketing plans and recommendations for seating a final board, with staggered terms in 2014.
VBS advisory committees, also newly appointed, will execute projects initiated by the board to help drive marketing and strategic planning. VBS is encouraging community members to join the committees. Interested parties can send a letter of interest to info@bigskychamber.com.

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.

Noon until 6PM.
