Abstract
A laminated artist's board comprised of a rear substantially rigid backer, a front paintable member in the form of a plastic coated paper, cotton duck or linen sheet, and an intermediate flexibly resilient member wherein the range of hardness of the combined front and intermediate members is such that pressure applied on the paintable member with a brush will produce a dent of limited depth that will recover substantially instantaneously so that the artist can retain his techniques and habits of painting on canvas. The board is less expensive than canvas, is easily cropped and is resistant to humidity and/or temperature changes.

A laminated artist's board comprising a rear substantially rigid stiffener member, a front member of fibrous material consisting of paper, cotton duck or linen, said fibrous material having a plastic paintable surface thereon consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylic, vinyl or epoxy resins and an intermediate flexibly resilient member consisting of rubber, vulcanizates of acrylic elastomers or foamed plastic, the combined hardness of the front and intermediate members being such that the application of a paint brush to the paintable surface will be cushioned and indent the surface but the indentation will recover substantially instantaneously.
