Gesso (. [ËdÊÉsso] ;  chalk , from the Latin: gypsum, from Greek: Î³ÏÏÎ¿Ï) is a white paint mixture consisting of a binder mixed with chalk, gypsum, pigment, or any combination of these.
In medieval and Renaissance times, gesso (usually made of plaster of paris mixed with glue) was applied to wood panels, plaster, stone, or canvas to provide the ground for tempera and oil painting. Plaster of paris is prepared by heating calcium sulfate dihydrate, or gypsum, to 120â180 Â°C (248â356 Â°F). With an additive to retard the set, it is called wall, or hard wall, plaster, which can provide passive fire protection for interior surfaces.
