ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(20, 20, 150, 100);

Definition and Usage
The fill() method fills the current drawing (path). The default color is black.
Tip: Use the fillStyle property to fill with another color/gradient.
Note: If the path is not closed, the fill() method will add a line from the last point to the startpoint of the path to close the path (like closePath()), and then fill the path.
