I'm going to talk a little bit about canvases. What I'm going to use today which is really so simple especially if your beginning is just a flat canvass like this. I got this for three dollars so it's great to use to practice with. You can get different sizes and shapes of canvases, here is another that I got a while ago it's as you can see an oval shape and it's museum style. Which means that it is non flat to the wall but it's actually off the wall a little bit and the sides are also canvass which is nice. Another option and which it's also really great for practicing art pads of canvass paper. So you have many different sheets and you can sort of be free with it you don't have to feel like "oh my gosh", here is a piece of canvass and it has to look amazing. You can just sort of whip through them so there's a lot of different options and I would suggest going to your store and just sort of looking through them and seeing what fits you best.
