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 so far required 2 days of walking: 11/05/08, 13/05/08 (click on the dates to see the photos)

Graystones sign

Footpath sign. 11/5/08

One of the very few references which have been updated. The "End of Footpath" sign which AW drew has long since gone. Instead I have included a sketch of a "Walkers Welcome" sign which is displayed close to the location of the original sign.
