or you can also close it by clicking on the X

00:00:15,001 --> 00:00:16,006
on top of the panel.

7
00:00:16,006 --> 00:00:18,008
I will close it as I don't need it anymore.

8
00:00:18,008 --> 00:00:22,002
Now, select the rectangle that makes up the sky

9
00:00:22,002 --> 00:00:25,009
and then head to your toolbar to select the Gradient tool.

10
00:00:25,009 --> 00:00:28,000

19
00:00:49,004 --> 00:00:51,000
The freeform gradient

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,001
is an exciting option to apply multiple colors to a fill.

21
00:00:55,001 --> 00:00:57,002
After selecting the gradient type

22
00:00:57,002 --> 00:00:58,008

23
00:00:58,008 --> 00:01:01,008
will appear inside the graphic elements you selected.

24
00:01:01,008 --> 00:01:04,006
The number and color of those color stops,

25
00:01:04,006 --> 00:01:05,007
may be different depending

26
00:01:05,007 --> 00:01:08,001
on the artwork in your document.

27
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,002

32
00:01:20,008 --> 00:01:24,006
to create a smoother gradient that contains transparencies.

33
00:01:24,006 --> 00:01:28,005

To add a new color stop, click within the bounds

44
00:01:51,008 --> 00:01:53,008

in the properties panel to adjust the color for all of them

00:02:10,009 --> 00:02:12,006
in one click.

53
00:02:12,006 --> 00:02:13,007
With this gradient,

54
00:02:13,007 --> 00:02:17,006
I am aiming to create a perfect sunset effect.

55
00:02:17,006 --> 00:02:21,009
Once you are happy with your gradient, simply click Away.

56
00:02:21,009 --> 00:02:24,001
