The Teesdale Gallery fades. I have taken the decision to clear the old Teesdale Gallery website, all that is left is a simple page which may have directed you to this new website. It served it’s purpose since 2000 but this new system seems to meet my new requirements.
If your interest is in the Wainwrights in Colour then do visit the andybeckartist site where I am in process of transferring over all the information and sketches for this major project.
This morning I completed the transfer of all the sketches for The Southern Fells. So why not take a look.
Thank you for taking time to read The Teesdale Gallery fades..
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.
