Gesso A chalk-based paint mixture that is used to create texture on canvas surfaces prior to, or in lieu of, painting. Due to its absorbency, it can serve as a base for most types of paint.
Modern acrylic "Gesso" is actually a combination of Calcium Carbonate with an acrylic polymer medium latex, a pigment and other chemicals that ensure flexibility, and ensure long archival life.
It is also used as a base on sculptural work, wall paintings and wood panelling, or for priming blank canvas prior to oil painting. |
