White gesso is a primer used in painting and art creation. It's a thick, white paint-like substance consisting of a mixture of a binder (typically acrylic polymer) and white pigment (usually titanium dioxide). Gesso is applied to surfaces like canvas, wood, paper, or board before painting to create a smooth, evenly toned, and absorbent surface. White gesso can be applied with a brush, roller, or even a palette knife, depending on the desired texture and effect. It dries to a matte finish, providing a neutral background for painting in various mediums such as acrylics, oils, or watercolors. Additionally, gesso can be sanded or textured to create different surface qualities, offering artists versatility in their creative process.

 

1. Surface Preparation: Gesso creates a smooth, absorbent surface that helps paint adhere better. It prevents the paint from soaking into the surface and provides a suitable texture for painting.
2. Sealing: It seals the surface, preventing the paint from seeping through and causing damage. This is particularly important for porous surfaces like canvas or wood.
3. Texture Creation: Depending on how it's applied, gesso can create texture on the surface, adding dimension and interest to the artwork.
4. Correction: If you make a mistake in your painting, you can easily paint over it with gesso to correct it without damaging the underlying surface.
5. Creating a Ground: Gesso can be tinted with acrylic paint to create a colored ground for your painting. This can alter the mood and tone of the painting from the outset.
6. Support for Mixed Media: It provides a suitable surface for mixed media artwork, allowing various materials to adhere properly to the surface.
7. Conservation: Gesso can be used in art conservation to stabilize and preserve artworks, especially on aged or deteriorating surfaces.
8. Versatility: Acrylic gesso is versatile and can be used with a variety of painting techniques, including traditional brushwork, palette knife application, and even pouring or sponging techniques.
