A common graphic technique for overlaying one image on top of another is to create a mask of the bottom image. The mask will be black in places where the lower image is anything but black. The mask is usually a few pixels wider than the non-black parts of the lower image. Draw the mask (to blacken areas where you will drawing something on top of it), draw the second layer, then to remove the second layer, redraw the entire lower image (not just the part that got masked out).
