Masonite board is a type of hardboard made using the Mason method. It is a type of medium wood fiberboard, but is harder and denser because it is made out of highly compressed wood fibers.
Masonite is a type of hardboard made of steam-cooked and pressure-molded wood fibres in a process patented by William H. Mason.
Masonite does not think or do anything, since it is a type of hardboard, manufactured from steamed and pressure-molded wood fibers. The process of making Masonite was invented by William H. Mason in 1924.
Many artists (painters) use oil based paint. Some artists prefer to paint on masonite board rather than canvas. The masonite board often first coated with gesso paint. So oil on masonite would be a painting of oil based paint on masonite board.

HOW TO OIL PAINT ON CALICO FABRICCalico makes a wonderful surface on which to paint as it has a nice tooth and a beautiful surface quality yet is not as coarse as canvas or duck fabric. I recommend wrapping your calico around hardboard or masonite cut to your dimensions and notstretching it over a wooden stretcher (as you would with canvas) as generally the calico is not strong enough and you risk tearing. Here's what to do:1.) Cut a piece of calico fabric approximately 2-inches larger all the way around than your hardboard or masonite.2.) Coat your calico with gesso or latex paint, place your hardboard on the coated calico, and wrap your edges to the back of the board. Your gesso or latex will "glue" the calico to your board.3.) On front and working from center outwards, use your hands or a damp sponge to press out any air bubbles from under the surface of the calico.4.) Over 3 days, apply 3 coats of gesso or latex, and allow 24 hours drying time between coats. Coat both sides of your board or else your board will warp. When perfectly dry, your calico is ready to paint on.
