Is gesso necessary for acrylic painting?
Of course, yes! You definitely need to gesso your canvas before you can start painting on it. Now you wonder what gesso is? Well, it is a layer of paint that is done on the canvas that we usually call primer or ground. Why is this necessary? Because the fabric of the canvas is, an absorbent and it will suck up the paint if you do not prime it first.
