Andy Beck- The Wainwrights in colour.

Gallery Home >Wainwrights in Colour >Book 7 (Western) > Red Pike (Wasdale)

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.

From Black Crag. 2/7/06

This view is rather special, it was here that the whole idea for this project came about as I recognised the similarity between this scene and Wainwright's drawing.
