Gesso (jeh-so) is actually the Greek word for âground chalk.â (gypsum) Acrylic gesso is a mixture of different materials (latex/calcium carbonate/pigment/etc) usually sold in a premixed form and is used to prime/prep surfaces for acrylic and oil painting. (However, please keep in mind that it is NOT a sealant.
However, in the cases in which you are using an unprimed canvas, it must be primed in order to paint on the canvas. Gesso is the most common type of primer. It is generally a white paint mixed with a binder that seals the canvas, though it also comes in black, gray and other primary colors. Gesso will make the canvas a bit stiffer and smoother. Liquid gesso is applied with a paintbrush, lightly over the entire surface and sides.
