DAVID A. CLEMEN: Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village, and today we're going to paint a piece of glass inside of a frame. All right. Now that I've got my main subject here, I'm going to go on the opposite side of the tape and I'm going to do a design in the border of where the matte is. So I'm going to get a little bit smaller brush here and I'm going to dry it out 'cause I don't want it to get wet and streaky. And so I'm just going to come in and get some paint, and I'm just going to come in and do a design on where the border of the matte is, and I'll continue this all the way around the edge of the matte. And you can also use the width of the brush. You can come in and do small circles and fill in the design. This kinda looks very tribal or something since we're in the tree business right now, nature. And so this is all building. This is what I want to see first, is the really strong solid black outline image, and then this is more of the theme, and then later on down the line, I'm going to add color and behind this. So right now, we're just doing the border and painting the edge where the matte is.
