	Fine-Art.com - Community - Gesso--I guess so...
		I think that gesso is, by definition, acrylic.
		I've never heard of oil-based gesso, but I did try once to use lead white (a pasty, oil base) as a primer, but it took an inordinately and infuriatingly long time to dry, and I swore I'd never use it again.
		I normally use the cheapest gesso I can find, at MJ Designs (or Michael's or any arts-and-crafts store), applying at least two coats, and it works just fine.

	A Little about Gesso (and What You Can Do with It)
		Gesso hardens fairly quickly, but if you are in a rush to complete a project, the process can be accelerated with a heat gun or hair dryer.
		Gesso also can be used for doing striated finishes, using striated trowels, combs, graining tools or the teeth of various saw blades (or you can cut out your own designs).
		Another gesso finishing technique is to use various types of cloth, such as linen, ribbed or other textured fabric, pressing it into set-up gesso to emboss a pattern.

	Society of Tempera Painters - Grounds
		This gesso is a mixture of some form of whiting (chalk, gypsum, marble dust or titanium oxide), rabbitskin glue and water.
		A number of layers of gesso need to be applied to the support and it is important to apply the same number of coats to the front and rear to minimise the effect of warping.
		The amount of layers depends on how thick the gesso is applied but the rule of thumb is to apply sufficient which can be sanded to a smooth surface without sanding back to the support.

	sketched, too late for gesso? [Archive] - WetCanvas!
		I would say, actually using gesso on stretched canvas is very typical.
		I always put 3 to 4 extra coats of gesso on my stretched canvas for a bit of a smoother tooth, or for a bit of texture.
		Whereas "real gesso" is rsg and whiting and is very brittle and its use is reserved for rigid supports like wooden panels 'cause it'll crack on flexible supports.

	Tinting Gesso or replacing it completely? [Archive] - WetCanvas!
		I would seriously hesitate to substitute acrylic paint for gesso because there are issues with oils adhering properly to acrylic paints.
		You can tint acrylic 'gesso' quite easily with acrylic paints but I would be wary of using craft paints unless you know that they're lightfast.
		That said, fl and most earths will probably be pigmented with reliable pigments so there's unlikely to be anything to worry about with those colours and you might be able to spot a blue made using phthalo blue even if the pigments are not listed and that should always be reliable.
