Flipping your artwork is useful for assessing the composition. Painters working in traditional media use a mirror for this purpose.
You can set Flip canvas to one of two gestures: long press or double-tap (in fact you can set it to both gestures if you wish to). See Application settings.
If you are using a physical keyboard, press the H key to flip the canvas. For list of all keyboard shortcuts see Keyboard shortcuts.
