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.

A solitary boulder. 6/11/08

The summit of Whoap is marked by this lone pink boulder. Behind is the ridge of Starling Dodd and a far distant Grasmoor. As I have indicated by white splash marks, the rock is a favourite perch for Ravens.
