King Robert The Bruce Sculpture Aberdeen

That's well done, Dorothy. I admire especially the buildings behind the subject...don't like drawing them myself...pleased to see people who do and can.

Great movement in that horse and really well drawn Dorothy, also good perspective in that building, really gives the impression of looking up at the statue 👍

Thank you Lewis. I am not keen on drawing buildings either but I was asked to set up a small display in our Local Library a few months ago featuring the City of Aberdeen and unfortunately for me, we are built of granite and the architecture is beautiful and I had to focus on these buildings so that they would hopefully be recognisable, otherwise I would probably have kept away from that subject. My preference is people. This has been a real challenge, but though frustrated quite a few times, I have actually enjoyed doing this because I know Aberdeen so well. I do feel though that the King should have been bigger when he was sculpted. He is lost beside the huge building of Marischal College but an amazing sculpture. Every time I have been in town, somebody is taking photos of him.

That's so good Dorothy, your series of buildings and statues have been excellent.

Nicely represented and in good proportion and perspective. Nice job Dorothy.

Thank you for your comments Margaret and Jim.
