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 3 days of walking: 4/3/08, 12/11/09, 27/7/10 (click on the dates to see the photos)

The summit

Thirlmere from Raven Crag. 26/7/10

A fine view along the length of Thirlmere from a point just below the summit of the crag. The felling of the trees shown in AW's drawing have opened up the view even more.

Fell complete..
