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 2 days of walking: 14/11/07, 4/1/09 (click on the dates to see the photos)

Litt's Memorial. 14/11/07

These two stone markers are difficult to locate being only about 24" tall. This was one of A.W's smallest illustrations for any of the seven guides.

The Summit. 14/11/07

The rocky outcrop is complemented by a stone triangulation point. Ullscarf and High Raise form the skyline.

more sketches to follow shortly.
