not directly on the window, but rather on the dc, you can  have a wxGCDC 
( a wxDC interface working on an wxGraphicsContext) as an intermediate, 
in case you have common wxDC calls

void MyCanvas::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent &WXUNUSED(event))
{
    wxPaintDC pdc(this);

     wxGCDC gdc( pdc ) ;
    PrepareDC(dc);

    ...

or not needing the wxGCDC at all have the wxGraphicsContext::Create( pdc 
) directly after the wxPaintDC is created
