I use both. I would LOVE to paint on masonite only but many of my paintings are large and it just gets too heavy to ship and hang. So for me it's small paintings on board and large paintings on smooth linen or canvas

Original Post: Canvas or masonite/board panels?

Which is better and more durable to use for an oil painting? Stretched canvas or gessoed masonite/board panels? tempered or regular masonite? Are 1400# watercolor boards good for oil?
