Description
Second in a series of airbrush art I did solely for the purpose of just messing around, employing but one color. This, along with several others, was done in the early 1950s, applied on art board, using a real airbrush with thin paints, and attached to either a compressed air tank or to a motorized air compressor. I doubt if many of you were around back then to participate in or witness this art genre. The above was executed not only with the airbrush alone, but also with masks of paper stock. In fact, the mountains in this case were created using sheets of torn paper as masks.
A steady hand and a delicate touch is the name of the game.
And, being highly familiar with modern military aircraft back then, I really had to be just messing around in order to create one so lengthy in size.
In any event, please zoom.

Brought a big smile to my face!

It's fascinating to see your airbrush techniques bring out " motion " of this highly aerodynamic aircraft . Looks sharp !

Beautiful work. The size and very slender shape sort of reminds me of the Lockheed SR-71. Since you did this in the 1950s, maybe you're a bit psychic?

This is another beauty from your "salad days" (as you call them), with techniques I'm amazed at---tearing up paper, layering it on top of your base paper, airbrushing/painting/drawing over it, etc. As for the plane, even I---who know little about the history of aviation---can see that this is a futuristic vision, and I love it. Esp as you made it feel thrusting through the air, which isn't easy to do for an object that sits 'stationary' on a piece of paper. And you did very intense work on the fuselage: The variation in tone, in such a small space, is striking. But then you've done similar variation in your black and white pieces (I saw the muffler, and it's another example of your exacting and shining work with these metal objects). I also like the heavy purples in the lower portions of the mountain peaks.
I'm loving this series, Harry, and I'll be back to comment on more after another several days of rest. (Right now I'm only uploading for birthdays ((and surgeries)), so I'm not here much. But I'm looking at everything.) And this series of old airbrush work has been wonderful. And thank you, btw, for your very fine and caring comments---I've appreciated them all, esp as I know you've been battling all kinds of health matters. I still owe you a letter, and I'll write it soon. In the meantime, kudos on another piece of this old, beautiful airbrush work. You packed a lot of detail into a thin, thin structure!
