Aberdeen is preparing for this year’s Nuart festival with work underway on murals across the city.
Artists from around the world are beginning to brighten up buildings as part of the upcoming art festival, which starts on June 6.
Today a crane helped Hera bring to life one of the biggest murals in Nuart history.
The artwork covers the entire height of Union Point at Aberdeen Harbour.
It shows a vibrant blue-clothed girl holding an animal in her arms, with a sad expression on her face.
Last year Hera won over Aberdonians with their mural on the now-demolished Aberdeen Market.
While most of the murals are located within walking distance around the city centre, three walls are being created at Aberdeen Airport by local artist KMG.
Here’s where you can spot them.
Meanwhile, our photographers headed out to capture some of the Nuart artists in action.
