How to directly write to Canvas without adding elements inside it

[DImuthuUpe]

I want to directly access the canvas ref and draw on it using canvas apis when a gesture was detected. Is there way we can do that in RN Skia?

<GestureHandlerRootView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
          <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
            <Canvas
            style={{
              width: stageWidth,
              height: stageHeight,
              backgroundColor: 'lightgrey',
            }}
            >
            </Canvas>
            <GestureDetector gesture={Gesture.Race(panGesture, pinchGesture)}>
              <Animated.View style={[StyleSheet.absoluteFill]} />
            </GestureDetector>
          </View>
        </GestureHandlerRootView>
