Do You Need to Prep Canvas Before Acrylic Painting?

Wondering if you need to prep canvas before acrylic painting? What pre-primed canvas means or what gesso is used for? Or what to put on canvas prior to acrylic painting? I will answer these questions and discuss the basics of what you need to know about prepping a canvas before painting.
I also briefly discuss acrylic staining, and the fact that it is not an archival method of acrylic painting. That is why most artists apply gesso to canvas prior to painting in acrylics to prepare the canvas.
