Artists' stretched fabric
Canvases is the plural of canvas—a heavy, durable fabric used for sails, tents, and painting surfaces.
Artists work on canvases; galleries display them.
By extension, a canvas is any surface for creative work: The city became her canvas.
In boxing, the canvas is the mat covering the ring floor.
