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.

Cairn on Lingcomb Edge. 17/02/08

An amount of detective work confirmed that this was in fact the correct cairn from the right angle. Starling Dodd forms the horizon.

Scale Force. 17/2/08

Much the same as it was in A.W's day except the rickety ladder has gone. A few rocks in the foreground have been displaced probably due to torrents of water in the intervening years.
