 What is gesso used for? 

Gesso is an excellent material for preparing our painting surfaces and should be used primarily for two reasons. The first is to protect the surface, and the second is to improve the adhesion of the paint to the surface. That is, if, for example, we want to paint with oil on a raw canvas, we can apply a layer of gesso before applying the oil. This layer of gesso, which is actually several layers, has two main functions: the first is to protect the canvas from the oil. As you know, oil paint is made with oil, so if that oil is absorbed by the fabric, the fabric will eventually rot. And, on the other hand, it helps preserve the properties of the oil. Because, if we apply the oil directly to the raw canvas, as we have said, the canvas will absorb the oil. Thus, the oil undergoes an alteration in the oil/pigment ratio, which harms the oxidation or drying process of the paint. And therefore, it has a very high chance of cracking or falling off in pieces. So gesso is a primer that can be applied to various surfaces such as wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, or a wall. And it serves to protect and improve the connection between the surface and the medium to be used.
