Etrich Taube drawing
This is a piece that I've been wanting to get to for a while. I actually did the perspective drawing for it back about a year ago, but never had a chance to develop it any further. With the GWAA Fly-In coming up I decided to go ahead and work it up as a drawing to take with me. I'll probably end up developing it further into a painting at some point.
Etrich Taube 16.25" x 9.25" pencil on vellum

Thanks guys. Well, turns out it won't be coming to the GWAA Fly-In with me. Just sold it to a collector in the UK.

Another great drawing Russ. There is something magic about some of the early planes that later cleaner and more powerful plane con't touch.
I notice that the ribs look very prominent in this drawing. Was the Etrich Taube one of the planes that used wooden battens to hold the fabric to the ribs? Steve |

Thanks Steve. That's a raking light coming in directly from the side, so I think what you're referring to is the slight shadow on the "shady" side of the ribs. I may have it wee bit too pronounced.
