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 speckled rock. 18/5/08

There are quite a few large rocks in the valley of Tom Rudd Beck and all have this mottled appearance.

Ling Fell summit. 18/5/08

Unusually A.W. has drawn two different aspects of the summit trig point, this time Broom Fell forms the backdrop.

Fell complete.
