Dear Members,

Let us start from the last lesson where we practiced group and combine on the identical rectangles. They are kept side by side and filled with different colors. Delete any one rectangle. Select the rectangle left on the page.

1. Click on the fill tool and select Fountain Fill Dialogue.
2. Select Radial in Type and Two Color in Color Blend.
3. Choose any colors for From and To boxes.
4. Click OK to fill the radial fill in the rectangle.
5. Go to Edit > Duplicate
6. You get another identical rectangle with redial fill.
7. Please try to observe the nature of the radial fill in those two rectangles.
8. They have two centers.
9. This means both the rectangles have their own identical separate radial fills.
10. Keep them side by side, on the same level with a very less space in between.
11. Select both of them.
12. Go to Arrange > Group
13. Both the rectangles are grouped and still filled with the separate radial fills.
14. Go to Arrange > Ungroup
15. Now the rectangles are ungrouped.
16. We will begin the next part from this stage.
