I'm a beginner of acetic painting. Can anyone explain me what's this for? Thank you!!

Golden Gessos are ready-to-use liquid grounds formulated for the use of acrylics on any commonly used painting surface. They are flexible and can be applied in thin layers to conform to a variety of textured surfaces without cracking. Gesso provides a "tooth" to the support that promotes the adhesion of the paint system.Modify Golden Gesso by mixing it with a variety of mediums. Spray it, or apply it with brush, roller, or trowel. At least three layers of gesso are needed for oil painting over acrylic gesso.

Wanting to gesso over previous paintings for a clean start. What kind of canvas coverage can I expect from a single container?

you can gesso over acrylics and water medias NOT oils. that said one coat on an average size canvas 30 x 30 will take about 1/4 of a jar and give you a pretty good start. to go white with no shadows 2 coats or more might be necessary. gesso is very opaque goes a long way and good for prepping even the "pre gessod' canvases. gives a nice finish that i prefer and paint moves easier over a cost of gesso you apply, than the way the canvas comes from the store

Can this be used on wood?

Yes, prepare first, clean, sand

Is the white, opaque gesso?

Yes, this is white and completely opaque. Golden does not make a 'clear' gesso (but the do make a Black Gesso).
