Short promo film for the book. As you will perhaps know by now, every copy of The Wainwrights in Colour book comes with a DVD with a 15 minute film of how I have produced the work for the whole project, taking just one fell as an example. I was lucky enough to get professional film maker Alan Fentiman on board to not only shoot the footage but to also edit the whole story. His experience shows and over the past eight years he has filmed my challenge at its various stages. I have yet to see the final cut of the film but going by this short promo clip that he has just sent me I am sure that the end product will be a great addition to the whole book package.

Andy Beck-
Having been a professional artist since leaving the Royal Air Force Regiment in 1988 Andy Beck has now become well known for his recent major project- The Wainwrights in Colour which has seen him exploring the Lakeland Fells to capture all the scenes in Wainwright’s Pictorial guides. Up until early 2013 Andy ran The Teesdale Gallery in the heart of Barnard Castle, County Durham which he did for 20 years. Reluctantly he had to close the gallery so that he could concentrate his efforts on completing the project. This has given him the freedom to paint at home in his studio or go out gathering references for his work. Andy lives in Teesdale in the north Pennines of England.
