Hello Sandy,
I've only used the commonly available dry artists pigments, made by Winsor
Newton, Sennelier, BlockX, and Old Holland. I've never used actual
minerals/sandstone collected from Utah. That possibility sounds quite
interesting. I've often looked at the Moenkopi formation near Moab thinking
that it would make the ultimate 'Indian Red'.
