   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesso

   A restored gesso panel representing St. Martin of Tours, from St. Michael and All Angels Church, Lyndhurst, Hampshire. Gesso (Italian pronunciation:; 'chalk', from the Latin: gypsum, from Greek: γύψος), also known as "glue gesso" or "Italian gesso", [1] is a white paint mixture used to coat rigid surfaces such as wooden painting panels or masonite as a permanent absorbent primer substrate ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_painting_techniques

   The ratio of paint to water/pouring medium depends on how thick the glaze or pouring paint is expected to be. An opaque glaze or paint consists of more paint than water, and will give a more solid color. A translucent glaze or paint will be the opposite, consisting of slightly more water than the opaque version, and will have a smoother texture ...

4. Glaze (painting technique) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaze_(painting_technique)

   This process of applying the fat layers (more oil in the painter's medium) over the lean layers (less oil) can minimize cracking; this is the "fat over lean" principle. Many painters juxtapose glazes and opaque, thick or textured types of paint application (that appear to push forward) as a means to increase surface variety, which some painters ...

   The use of a solvent to remove paint may result in removal of all of the paint layers (acrylic gesso, et cetera). Oils and warm, soapy water can remove acrylic paint from skin. Acrylic paint can be removed from nonporous plastic surfaces such as miniatures or models using cleaning products such as Dettol (containing chloroxylenol 4.8% v/w). [22]

6. Rabbit-skin glue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit-skin_glue

   A canvas sized with rabbit-skin glue can be made tighter than with other alternatives—such as an acrylic-based gesso—because of the shrinkage. This type of canvas is also valuable because it can be sanded to a flatter texture, which allows the painter to achieve a finer level of detail than can be achieved with a typical acrylic gesso ground.

7. Paint sheen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_sheen

   High-gloss finish used for kitchen elements. Sheen is a measure of the reflected light from a paint finish. Glossy and flat (or matte) are typical extreme levels of glossiness of a finish. Gloss paint is shiny and reflects most light in the specular (mirror-like) direction, while on flat paints most of the light diffuses in a range of angles ...
