This is the first of the 4 A2 graphite commissions by Andrew O-Flaherty of Air-Tec of the company Let L-420 operating in Africa. I did these from photos he provided of the aircraft, and used a rough textured paper to capture the rough terrain that makes up the back drop of the aircraft taking off from this dirt strip. This was probably the largest scale work I had attempted in truth, and I recall sitting outside at the garden table to get the best light to work from, as natural light generally always beats artificial light.
