Further work on Tilly and Flip-flop for this entry of "on the easel". Carrying on with the black dog, "Flip-flop". Trying to keep a nice sheen to her coat but also trying to lessen the effects of the flash for more natural lighting and to match the lighting on Tilly.

I'm continuing work on the portrait of Tilly and Flip-flop. I've created a temporary mask from tracing paper to cover the left of the picture while I work on the black dog (which I think is "Flip-flop"!). This will prevent the dust from the darker pastel transferring onto the work already done on Tilly.

My current commission is a double head portrait of two terriers called "Tilly" and "Flip-flop". I'm really enjoying tackling the contrast of the black and the white, the rough coat and the smooth in one picture.
