Just saw a table calendar on my collegue’s table. The calendar contained some paintings from famous painters like Gull jee, Mashkoor Khan, Anwar Maqsood. The Paintings headings say ‘Oil on Canvas’, ‘Oil on Board’. Can anyone explain these terms and difference between them alongwith paintings?
Thanks in advance

Re: 'Oil on Canvas' & 'Oil on Board'
Thats what i understood? But I'm not clear about the difference between 'Oil on Canvas' and 'Oil on Board'
Re: 'Oil on Canvas' & 'Oil on Board'
meaning:
oil on canvas: oil painting on any medium, cloth, pair, wall or board anything.
oil on board: oil painting specifically on board or u can say wooden frame.
actually in early times, wooden board was only used for any type of art, but now there are so many mediums, so any medium used for art is actually canvas.

Oil paints are fun to use...but they take ages to dry!
Re: ‘Oil on Canvas’ & ‘Oil on Board’
“Oil on canvas” paintings are an art form that allows artist to use oil based paints to create masterpieces on stretched canvas wood boards. Once the paintings have been created they usually take a few days for the oil paint to dry, once dry they then coated in a varnish.
I have seen “oil on board” referred to as a type of surface to paint on.
