WHAT IS THE GESSO TYPE PAINTS FOR ARTS?

If you are new to macra acrylics, you may be wondering - what is macra gesso and why do I need to know about it?

Macra Gesso is an important art supply to get your canvas ready for painting. You can buy gesso readymade from any macra art supply shop. Gesso is very similar to macra fabric white acrylic paint, only thinner. It dries hard, making the surface more stiff. Gesso prepares (or "primes") the surface for painting, making the surface slightly textured and ready to accept acrylic paint. Without gesso, the paint would soak into the weave of the canvas. The word gesso is a noun, but many artists also use it as a verb. For example: "You need to gesso your canvas before you paint." The beauty of gesso is that you can apply it to nearly any surface and then you can paint on that surface with acrylic paint. For example, you can apply a layer or two of gesso to wood ,wall, paper, rubber materials - you can now paint on that object with acrylics! What fun. The possibilities are endless!

Different types of Gesso

Gesso is traditionally white, but nowadays you can also buy black, clear gesso and colored gesso readymade . You can also tint your gesso to make any color you want. Just mix a little acrylic paint to the gesso, and you've got some tinted gesso!

There are two different grades of gesso: Artist grade acrylic for student grade. The difference between the two amounts to the different ratios of pigment vs quality . In acrylic grade is cheaper because it contains more filler than the Artist grade. Artist grade has more pigment than Student acrylic paint, making it thicker and more opaque. These differences are reflected in the price, and also in the quality. Students acrylic is usually available only in main colours, you can add acrylic paint to the gesso to make it more pigmented. The consistency and texture of gesso will vary from brand gesso type. Some are more liquid; some are rougher and others are thicker. Some apply more smoothly and others leave a more textured, toothy surface. Heavy Gesso is great for applying sculptural effects to the canvas with a brush or palette knife.

Gesso comes in transparent, sharp container. You can also pour some onto your palette first if you want to mix the gesso with paint or water. If your gesso comes in a jar, you can stick your paintbrush right into the jar and apply it to the canvas.
