Bill continues on with the background. He shows us that it doesn’t matter what we do we can fix it or change the outcome.

Points To Consider:

• Bill doesn’t worry about adding too much paint because he can lift it off with his palette knife.
• By removing the excess paint, Bill can add more on top of the background color, easily.
• Bill lifts the paint off to show us how. He adds more paint back in because he wants to use it for the sun’s rays.
• He uses his big brush to make sure he has an even layer of paint on the canvas. A light touch to the canvas using just the corner of the brush will do it.
• To create the rays Bill begins in the yellow paint. He doesn’t want to drag the darker colors into his light. It doesn’t matter if he does though because he can always add more light.
• Think of a clock while painting sun rays. Begin in the center and then go outward towards where the numbers on the clock would be.
• Bill adds dark colors to the top and sides which makes the brighter area appear even brighter.
