Sure, if it's a modern gesso designed as a base for both oils and acrylics. But probably only in moderation as a tint. if you aren't sure of the chemical formula of the gesso, do a test patch first and let it dry thoroughly to see what happens.
If you're doing fine oils on canvas you might be interested to know that common Canola oil, the cheapest you can buy on sale at a discount market, is great for fine oil painting. Canola is rapeseed oil, a product of Canada (hence the name), and is as good as linseed oil, maybe even better. The old European masters used walnut oil. Just don't use any petroleum based oil because it won't dry.
What else can I help you with?
What material do you use for oil painting?
You want to use canvas to paint on. You can also (weird as it may sound) use smooth wood boards, as long as you use Gesso (a white paint) to 'prime' the board.
Is acrylic paint applied to a panel?
Yes, but you can also paint it on a gesso-primed canvas, or even on stretched paper. "universal primed' means: primed with gesso.
How do you prepare canvass for oil painting?
There are different methods - the oldfashioned one, is to first stretch the canvas, glue it in with rabbitskin-glue, then put a gesso over it. Nowadays acrylic binder and gesso is much used, but this might not be a very durable procedure in the end (in house painting, everyone knows not to put oilbased paint over acrylic paint...). Adding caseine to the gesso can help.
Can you stretch canvas after it's been painted?
No, you cannot. The canvas is stretched ever so slightly around a frame and then a sealing agent is used, gesso. This insures that the paint stays on the surface of the canvas, as opposed to soaking it up. The paint will most likely crack and possibly flake off if the canvas is stretched after painting.

What is gesso paint?
Gesso is a primer. Artists sometimes apply it to a surface before painting on it. In fact, gesso looks a lot like paint. Originally, gesso only came in white. Artists put it on canvas, wood, or other surfaces before creating a painting with oil paint or acrylics. Gesso makes the surface a little stiffer. It prevents paint from soaking into the support (canvas, paper, wood, etc.), and it gives the surface a little more texture (called "tooth"), so the paint sticks better. Please see related link.
What preliminary coating is applied to a canvas before paint?
If you are using oil paint because it can attack the canvas then a gesso coat is advisable. If acrylic, because it is non-degradable, you can paint directly onto the bare canvas. I suppose it all depends the quality of fineness or finish of the painting.

What are the differences between gesso and liquid white when it comes to preparing a canvas for painting?
Gesso is a primer that provides a textured surface for paint to adhere to, while liquid white is a wet-on-wet painting technique used to create a smooth base for oil paints. Gesso is more commonly used for acrylic and oil paintings, while liquid white is specifically designed for oil painting.
What are the differences between liquid white and gesso when it comes to preparing a canvas for painting?
Liquid white is an oil-based medium used to create a wet-on-wet painting technique, while gesso is a primer that provides a smooth surface for painting. Liquid white adds a slick base for blending colors, while gesso creates a more absorbent surface for paint to adhere to.
