The Wainwrights in Colour Film

[@alanglasgowbassist]

Fantastic project and a wonderful book Andy. I’m the owner of book number 3169 and it sits proudly on my bookshelf right alongside my Pictorial Guides. The quality of the book and the paintings/descriptions is amazing. It evokes many great memories of the Lakes and achieving my 214. Good luck with the shows this year.

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Alan. Not forgetting thanks for buying a copy. I wonder did you get to watch the DVD in the book or is this the first time that you have seen it?

[@alanglasgowbassist]

@@AndyBeckTeesdale Hi Andy. I watched the DVD in the book but it was lovely to see it again here on KZbin.

Lovely to see a review of what may be your Magnum Opus, Andy? Would you see it as that? I don't want to put words into your mouth!! I felt similar when I finished my PhD. It is emotional to come to the end of a vast project. The end also arrives with an impending sense of, "so what now"! The project has been so consuming of life, love, sweat and tears. Moving on and finding the next role to take up your time, encompass what you love, and monetise into your business, is a real challenge. I admire anybody who has been through the uphill and down dale rollercoaster of a realising Magnum Opus. Congratulations, Andy. Be proud of your work, and thanks for showing us the film! Cheers, Ian

Hi Ian, thank youfor watching and then for leaving such an interesting comment. Not see it as my "Magnum Opus" until you mentioned it but I suppose it is. It was certainly a project that put my name "on the map" so to speak and like I said in the film, not a project that others are likely to undertake, not for a while anyway. Plenty of ideas and new porjects in my head, finding the time to complete them and picking the ones that will bring in decent income is the conumdrum :)

A fantastic achievement Andy and a great video, I really enjoyed watching it. 10 years worth of hard graft. Well done.

Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment Jim.

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Wonderful...not just you that got emotional

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks. Yes, even now I get emotional just watching the film and reliving the day getting the last reference. When Alan (the film-maker) asked me those question I could hardly talk :/

[@Fell214]

Thanks for posting this Andy. Very interesting. You should be proud of the book and your commitment to finishing the project. What memories you will have.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks M&T not only for watching but for taking time to comment. Yes, plenty of great memories for me were built during the 10 years. :)

[@davidburgess9058]

Blimey this is quite awe inspiring. What an amazing achievement. Absolutely wonderful.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for watching and commenting David. Apologies for the delay in replying.

Wow. I learned about this from Sarah Burns. Lovely explanation of the project and clearly you are so passionate about the project. So beautiful - the landscape and your work. Thank you for sharing!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Stacy for taking time to watch and then to leave such a nice comment. It is appreciated.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

This is so incredibly inspiring. Your passion comes through, and of course the artwork is beautiful. Thank you for creating his behind the scenes video.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Hi Sarah, thank you for taking time to watch and for leaving that great comment, it really is appreciated. I have just have a quick look at your amazing channel and subbed. looking forward to watching some of your content in full. Regards, Andy

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

@Andy Beck Very kind of you! KZbin has a great art community 😀

[@sharilynnupsdell9195]

Thank you for creating this wonderful documentary. Giving us a visual insight into your journey, process and the beauty of the areas where you’ve travelled and painted. As one who likes to do plein air paintings (in British Columbia) I so appreciate the depth of history you are connecting, and the enduring nature of landscape. Quite the project. Thanks for sharing!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for watching and commenting Sharilynn. So pleased that you enjoyed it. I am lucky to live in and close to such a wonderful part of the UK

[@coraweisenberger6862]

Wow, this is so inspirational! And I love your style in watercolor. Just beautiful! I just ordered the book and can't wait for it to arrive 😍

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Hi Cora, thank you very much, not only for watching and commenting but also for buying a copy of the book. I hope that it lives up to expectations.

[@thomasjuracek2406]

Great video and great project Andy!! I will have to try and find a copy here in the US. Congratulations on the achievement.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for watching and for taking time to leave a comment Thomas. It maybe possible for you to get a copy through Amazon. I have shipped them direct to the US before now, the postage isn't cheap due to the weight (2.4kg) of the book though.

[@celinem8456]

What a project! I never realized you did every single aspect of the book other than printing!!! And the staying power... 10 years... amazing! I don't live in the UK so I was not familiar with the original guide book nor the fells but through your videos, I've come to admire both. Thank you!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Celine. Glad that you enjoyed the film.

[@calistafesuiai218]

Wow!!! Absolutely stunning!! What a journey!! 😊👍

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Calista, kind of you to watch and then comment.

[@awatercolourist]

I really enjoyed this movie that you made. I was touched by your emotion, and I was happy for your visible excitement when you received the first copy of your book 😄. An inspiring feat! 😊

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you. I thought that it was about time that I posted the background film. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@awatercolourist]

@@AndyBeckTeesdale Pleasure!

[@johnhayes5438]

Being a proud owner of The Sale Fell painting & the book, this lovely production deserves a wider audience. What a legacy, it's a shame you never got to chat with AW, I'm sure it would have been a fascinating conversation.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you John not only for your comment but for your long term support. if it wasn't for people like you (and your patience) this whole project may never have come to fulfilment.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Here for the first time is the film of The Wainwrights in Colour project. Up until now this was only available to those who have a copy of the book- a dvd inside the back cover. Who has the book but never realised that the DVD was included? :)

[@tradingpostfarms]

So cool

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Elli.

[@gracebrown3279]

Beautiful book Andy . You do an excellent piece of lettering in one of the clips in the video, can you tell me which type of brush you were using.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Grace. That watercolour brush is called a "rigger", it is thin but with long hairs which works well fro painting fine lines.

[@awatercolourist]

15:21 What is that application you are using to design the book?

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Adobe Indesign.

[@awatercolourist]

@@AndyBeckTeesdale Thanks, Andy!

[@awatercolourist]

11:13 What is that machine you used to make the frame, please?

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

It's a foot operated underpinner

[@awatercolourist]

@@AndyBeckTeesdale never heard of that 😂. I’ll have to check it out, though.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

@@awatercolourist it's the type of machine that most professional framers use. Either foot or air operated.

[@awatercolourist]

@@AndyBeckTeesdale Thanks!
