Click the layer mask on the layers palette. It will have a white line around it when it is active. Now when you paint on the image with black it will hide, and white will reveal what is on that layer. In this case it is a solid color.

You are obviously new to Photoshop. I recommend to everyone new that they go to the library and get a book on PS. A book on any version will do to learn the basics.
