Make a white layer

How do I make a white layer then turn it to a canvas. Then have my images put on to make a water colour print. Sorry for a simple question. Thanks

And to make a Layer a Background Layer in an image that has no Background Layer: Layer > New > Background from Layer

If you are creating a new document

Choose Background Contents > White from the left bottom of the New Document dialog.

If you have an existing document

Create a new layer by clicking on the Create a new layer icon found at the bottom of the Layers Panel.
With the layer selected, choose Edit Menu > Fill
Choose Contents > White.
Ensure this layer is at the bottom of your layer stack
