Friberg paints on illustration board

Many of Arnold Friberg’s paintings are done on illustration board, which is a fine rag drawing paper mounted on board, then glued to heavy masonite for added strength. In an art piece containing precise man-made creations such as architecture, it is easier to do the careful preliminary drawing on board, then paint over it. Board and canvas are equally permanent, and for centuries fine paintings have been done on either material, but art collectors often attach more importance to canvas.
