Initial Research...

Due to the nature of this project, i have decided to go down the floral route, however i do  not want to be focusing on the obvious so once my initial research and drawings have been created, i will develop and push this idea...
Firstly i made a trip to 'The Birmingham Botanical Gardens & Glasshouses', where i took a large amount of photographs and gathered a lot of inspiration...
I have compiled a sketchbook together of my photographs along with botanical illustrations...Below are a selection of images from this sketchbook...
