noun

A canvas is like a big, blank piece of paper that you can use to create a painting or a drawing. It's usually made of a special material called "canvas" that's strong and durable, so it won't rip or tear easily.

Sometimes, instead of paint, artists might use things like markers, crayons, or pencils to draw on a canvas. And sometimes, instead of creating a picture, they might use the canvas to write words or create patterns.

Example

1. The artist stretched the canvas over the wooden frame before starting to paint.
2. She used oil paints to create a stunning landscape on the canvas.
3. I'm going to buy a new canvas and try my hand at painting this weekend.
