A painters undercoat or primer in the world of art is GESSO.

Actually, this is not a synonym it is a medium used as an undercoat. A synonym is underpainting (informal), chromogen. coat, coat of paint, color filter, color Gelatin, colorant, dead-color, primer, opaque color, tinction, wash coat, flat wash, and more.

In the world or art, this makes a painting more complex and rich. Look up what Norman Rockwell did for his undercoats. Think Jackson Pollack when you think how Rockwell did it.

Gesso is used for many things...as a primer, it prepares paper for the application of acrylic or oils over it.

Norman Rockwell did it to add the richness that his paintings then became, like so many artists have done. Also, look up texture gradient painting with ink. You drop little tiny drops of different shades of ink on your paper and allow it to dry before you do your drawing over it. Wonderful technique.
