Yes, you can. But, I suspect it will take a lot longer and be a lot more
work than you might expect. That will be the case no matter what tool
kit you use. First you are going to have to understand what a surface is
and then you are going to have to learn how to draw things on the
screen. You have a *lot* of learning to do. If you are not already
proficient in programming you will have to become proficient before you
complete this project. 

I am not trying to discourage you. Just trying to point out that this
may be a more difficult project than you think it is.
