Andy Beck- The Wainwrights in colour.

The sketches shown here are the images that I have so far produced for this "Wainwright". The views are taken from the exact spot where A.W. stood to illustrate his seven pictorial guides. The comparative views are mainly different due to the time of day, weather conditions and seasonal differences. The originals of my sketches are approximately twice as wide and twice as high as A.W's pen and ink drawings. I have added notes to give more information to each sketch.

All images are the copyright of the artist.

To obtain these references has required 3 days of walking: 12/6/09, 7/3/10, 4/10/11(click on the dates to see the photos)

From Grange Fell. 7/3/10

Looking across Borrowdale to a snow covered Glaramara.

Glaramara, Comb Head

Comb Head and Raven Crag. 12/6/09

Bright sun on the slopes of the fell. Always pleasing to find the rocks that AW also included in the foreground of his drawing.

Glaramara Tray Dub

Tray Dub. 4/10/11

A rocky gorge in Langstrath

Glaramara summit

The summit. 12/6/09

The lower rocky platform behind has lost its small cairn. from this angle the north western fells form the distant backdrop.

 

Glaramara rock step

20' rock step. 12/6/09

Erosion over time has changed the shape of the rock step but it is still bit of a scramble.

Fell complete.
