01
APPLY
Scoop Studio One straight from the jar. Spread it on canvas, panel, board or any other rigid surface with a palette knife. It goes on dark. That’s your “wet” signal.
02
SHAPE
Build peaks, comb lines, carve or smooth. It holds whatever you make. Add any water-based paint now to color it through.
03
CURE
As it dries it lightens to pale stone. That color shift means it’s curing. Sand to silk, add color over it, or leave it raw.
Meet Supernatural Studio One: A Mineral Molding Paste That Cures To Stone
Supernatural Studio One is a mineral molding paste and ground for artists, designers, and architects, free of plastic binders, VOCs, and crystalline silica. As it cures it mineralizes into calcium carbonate, capturing CO2 and locking it into real stone. In this introduction, founder Alicia Garcia-Romero walks through the product line and the core surface-finishing techniques, so you can see how the material builds, holds, and finishes.
If you’re new to mineral mediums or expanding an existing practice, this is the place to start before the technique tutorials.

Textured Canvas Art and Minimalist Panels with Supernatural Studio One
Supernatural Studio One is a mineral molding paste that builds heavy texture and cures hard as calcium carbonate, with no acrylic binders, VOCs, or crystalline silica. In this video we put it to work two ways. First, a large abstract canvas layered in earthy taupe and deep magenta, where you can watch the paste hold every peak without sagging. Then a set of three minimalist geometric panels made with precision stencils and high-contrast custom color, for clean lines instead of loose texture.
Whether you work in bold abstract layers or sharp geometric lines, you’ll see the full arc:
applying and shaping the paste, letting it cure to stone, sanding it to a silky finish, and painting.
