Gesso is a special material used in the protection and preparation of art pieces that comes from the Italian word for plaster ‘Gesso’. It is a thoroughly blended glue and white paint mixture that makes use of chalk or gypsum as a pigment. Gypsum or chalk is used as the pigment in white paint, and after the blending of the glue is complete, the surface is ready to be used. As with all other paint substances, Gesso supports absorbability which helps enhancing color saturated as well as resist fading. In various fields of art, it is used extensively due to the fact that different levels of opacity, thickness and texture can be applied in different layers. Gesso, chalk and binder mix has been in use since ancient times. Its versatile applications during Renaissance when pieces of art crafted by Michelangelo and Da Vinci became famous was a cherry on top. The Renaissance period was all about attention to detail, and gesso application is one of the ways that was used to achieve the required smoothness. In modern era, no matter the school of art or style adopted by an artist, whether abstract mixed media or realism, gesso remains irreplaceable. In addition, gesso represents more than a mere utility; it acts as a metric for the preliminary stage of an artwork’s creation, standing for what the artist intends and prepares to do before engaging in the application of color and shapes. Gesso offers a well-defined and level surface which enables the artist to exercise their creative abilities with exactitude and command as well as permits the precision for additional detail to the story that issue forth from the artwork. To put in another way, gesso serves as a proof for the existence of the integration of craftsmanship as well as works of art and stands to testify the balance of the idea and material in the sphere of graphic art.
