"Hi I'm Stephanie Barnett on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you a Halloween decorative bowl. So now we are actually going to do the background on the bowl. Think about what color you want and how your images are going to stand out best. Put a good amount of paint for the size of bowl that you have out. Take a wet brush and put it in the paint. Remember you are not painting the inside of the bowl we are painting the outside of the bowl. So just brush the paint on. It can be relatively thick but not to thick. Also think about your brush strokes and how that is going to look and you are going to cover right over those images don't worry you are still going to be able to see them in the inside. You still see them in the inside but there is your images and with a nice background on them. Also think about the colors you are going to use. I chose mostly orange things so I knew they would show up on a black background but if I have used black cats. Black would not be a good choice because the black cats would not show up against that background. Just keep painting until your entire bowl is cover with paint. "
