how to render offscreen canvas properly

I'm trying to create a basic example of offscreen rendering canvas but I'm error in js "cannot read property of context". actually my idea is to create a demo like I saw in https://yalantis.com/ I want to create my name initial. If there is any better idea to achieve this then please enlighten me. Thanks here is my basic attempt before the actual implementation :)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Off Screen Canvas</title>
<script>
    function createOffscreenCanvas() {
        var offScreenCanvas= document.createElement('canvas');
        offScreenCanvas.width= '1360px';
        offScreenCanvas.height= '400px';
        var context= offScreenCanvas.getContext("2d");
        context.fillRect(10,10,200,200);
    }
    function copyToOnScreen(offScreenCanvas) {
        var onScreenContext=document.getElementById('onScreen').getContext('2d');
        var offScreenContext=offScreenCanvas.getContext('2d');
        var image=offScreenCanvas.getImageData(10,10,200,200);
        onScreenContext.putImageData(image,0,0);
    }
    function main() {
        copyToOnScreen(createOffscreenCanvas());
    }
</script>
<style>
    #onScreen {
        width:1360px;
        height: 400px;
    }
</style>
</head>  
 <body onload="main()">
 <canvas id="onScreen"></canvas>
 </body>
</html>

You could achieve this in the following way ...

function createOffscreenCanvas() {
    var offScreenCanvas = document.createElement('canvas');
    offScreenCanvas.width = '1360';
    offScreenCanvas.height = '400';
    var context = offScreenCanvas.getContext("2d");
    context.fillStyle = 'orange'; //set fill color
    context.fillRect(10, 10, 200, 200);
    return offScreenCanvas; //return canvas element
}

function copyToOnScreen(offScreenCanvas) {
    var onScreenContext = document.getElementById('onScreen').getContext('2d');
    onScreenContext.drawImage(offScreenCanvas, 0, 0);
}

function main() {
    copyToOnScreen(createOffscreenCanvas());
}

canvas {
  border: 1px solid black;
}

<body onload="main()">
<canvas id="onScreen" width="1360" height="400"></canvas>

note : never set canvas's width and height using css. instead use the native width and height property of the canvas.
