Biddulph Grange Gardens 3rd of February visit
Today I visited the Biddulph Grange Gardens today in order to gather reference for my story and its placement in time. The national trust has adopted and preserved a Victorian manor house and the worldly themed gardens. I was primarily interested in the Chinese gardens however they also had gardens themed on the Egyptians, Italians and more.
It was really helpful to see all the different possible buildings and take photos at angles that aren't necessarily provided on an internet google search. The scenery was beautiful and full of extraordinary looking things. Below is some of the hundreds of photos that I took.
Hopefully this will help provide a clearer understanding for myself in terms of scale, design and aesthetics. Nature has always been one of my weakest points in drawing, if i am copying an existing landscape replicating it is not a problem. However, creating my own is another story entirely. The Victorian Manor and Chinese garden was one of the prettiest things I have seen in a long while and has given me a new source of inspiration.
