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.
Artists put it on canvas, wood, or other surfaces before creating a painting with oil paint or acrylics. Gesso makes the surface a little stiffer. It prevents paint from soaking into the support (canvas, paper, wood, etc.), and it gives the surface a little more texture (called tooth), so the paint sticks better.oday, gesso comes in many colors. White is still the most popular, but black and colors are also widely used for art journaling and other art. It's useful for mixed media work as well as fine art paintings. For example, I almost always cover a cigar box with gesso before painting it when I make an art shrine.
