Painting in a Base Color

Then, to start off with, just fill in the area that you want to use a gradient on; just pick a base color, whatever your “average” color is going to be. If you’re using dark colors like I am, you may want to go back to your lines layer and change the colors of line segments in the middle of dark areas.
