GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Gesso is a solid coating made of a glue solution with chalk and white pigment added. Tinted gesso was often used in Medieval and Renaissance paintings. Gesso can be watered down and applied with a brush or applied with a putty knife when used in its thickened consistency. Another term used when painters choose not to gesso their surface is raw.

Rule based on tags links to 9 notes (Jan 2017)
Note was routed and reviewed by Sue in October 2017. her revisions have been made and the note is being tagged #routed until the changes are uploaded to GDocs, at which point it can be tagged #completed. I am removing the routed tag and adding the completed tag. (EAS 2/28/2017) The note has been moved to Queta's folders for review.
Confirmed note updated in GDrive. Tagged completed and moved GDoc to Queta folder. (1/24/2017)
