Pete tried out Mineral Paper for the first time a few years ago and has been using it ever since. Mineral Paper has unique qualities allowing watercolor paint to be removed and reworked. Since the paper is completely nonabsorbent, it can be very tricky to use. With Pete’s instruction, you’ll learn how to get comfortable using watercolor on Mineral Paper and embrace it’s stained glass-like qualities.

SUPPLY LIST:

- 11x 14” pad of mineral paper, heavier weight preferable
- Simple plastic palette, or whatever palette you may already have
- Watercolor paints, a couple options listed below:

If you don't have watercolors already, Pete suggests a set of Koi watercolors with 12 colors, called a Pocket Field Sketch Box. That will be more than adequate for what you’ll be doing, it’s not too expensive and has a built-in mixing area.

If you want to bring tubes of specific colors:
- Blues: Cobalt blue, Prussian blue
- Reds: Vermilion, Alizarin Crimson, Brown Madder
- Yellows: Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Quinacridone Gold

You will need at least one blue, one red and one yellow and they’ll need to be artist grade - not student grade. You don't need to have all the colors listed here. Pete usually has two blues, two reds and two yellows in his palette.

Boards for taping paper and cups for water will be provided.
