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.

Green Crag                                                     1602'

From Birker Fell. 2/8/09

Light on the rough outline of the fell. Behind is the outline of Harter Fell, something that AW omitted from his drawing, possibly not wanting to detract from the featured hill.
