I used Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens as a source of inspiration for my 'Ugly Beautiful' project. I chose to draw mainly in the glass houses but i also did some drawings in the extensive gardens as fortunately it was a fine day. I mainly worked in fine linear creating quick linear drawings to capture a range of bold and delicate shapes. Below are some of the pages from my sketchbook documenting 'beautiful' flowers.
After visiting the gardens i began to try and merge both 'ugly' architecture and 'beautiful' flowers together. In the piece below i used ink and watercolours. The colours were inspired by one of the flowers in the glass houses.
