Gesso is a white paint-like substance that is used as a base layer for many art and craft projects. It is made of a mixture of a binder (usually a glue, such as animal glue or acrylic polymer), chalk, and pigment.
In painting, gesso is often applied to a canvas or other surface to create a smooth and even base that can be painted on. It can also be used to seal and prime a surface before applying other materials, such as gold leaf or other decorative elements.
Gesso can be purchased pre-made or can be made at home using a variety of recipes. It can come in different colors, such as black or gray, but white is the most common color used in art.
