Drawpile is a drawing program that lets you share the canvas with other users in real time.

Some feature highlights:

Runs on Linux, Windows and OSX
Shared canvas using the built-in server or a dedicated server
Record, play back and export drawing sessions
Simple animation support
Layers and blending modes
Text layers
Supports pressure sensitive Wacom tablets
Built-in chat
Supports OpenRaster file format
Encrypted connections using SSL
Automatic port forwarding with UPnP

There was a Free Software collaborative pad I used online before, and it supported basic paint/whiteboard image creation. I can't remember what it was now. Maybe somebody here knows it.

I think drawpile is a desktop program and not a web application. Not 100% sure though.

There are both server and client dependencies...

Perhaps there is a more suitable collaborative paint option though. I hope somebody can suggest one, if so.

@loudlemur indeed, just saw SERVER=off: don't build the stand-alone server. in the README
