If things had gone according to plan we would now be over at Keswick setting up for the Mountain Festival this weekend. As with many events this one has now been cancelled due to the Coronavirus. As in previous years I was asked to be a guest speaker at the event. Not to be outdone I plan to do a short presentation tonight (Facebook Live 15.5.20) on my Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/andybeckartist/
The plan is for me to chat for about half and hour and then do a Q&A session. Why not take a look from the comfort of your own home? Grab a drink and chill in your comfy chair.
It could be good or it could go totally wrong but hopefully it will be entertaining. 🙂
Facebook Live 15.5.20. I intend to do more of these Live events in the future, watch my FB page or this website for more details.

The Wainwrights in Colour
Inspired by the work of Master Fellwalker and artist Alfred Wainwright, Andy spent over ten years completing the major project The Wainwrights in Colour. This meant producing a watercolour sketch of every illustration drawn by A.W. in his seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. Every single location of the illustrations has been meticulously researched so that Andy’s references are taken from the exact location where A.W. stood to take his own black and white photographs.
This was a unique undertaking. Whilst many others have taken a few comparison photographs of AW’s illustrations Andy went out and not only obtained all 1500 images but then went on to paint them as watercolour sketches.
