I can’t believe it- only six weeks to go until launch day for The Wainwrights in Colour Book. Orders for the book are coming in on a daily basis, thank you to all of you who have pre-ordered a copy.
On Wednesday I took delivery of a pre-production copy, the very first one off the line but just a sample. I have put this short sneak preview together, no one actually gets to look inside the book properly until the evening of the 5th May. To say that I am excited would be an understatement.
Thank you for reading Six weeks to go!
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.
