Hofdi house in Reykjavik

I remember the Hofdi house - probably from '86; and you've captured its solidity and sense of presence in what is still a remarkably loose, calligraphic watercolour, with blocks of tone doing much of the work. I should be fascinated to know what constitutes your palette of colours, which seems so right for the far northern light.

Thank you very much Robert. My palette is mostly: french ultramarine, perm. rose, cerulean blue, hookers green, brown madder, neutral tint, orange, cadmium red light, aliz. crimson, jaune brilliant (holbein), raw umber, cobalt blue, cobalt turquoise, sepia, mauve, permanent white the colors I use most: french ultramarine, cerulean blue, brown madder, neutral tint, orange, raw umber, sepia, cadmium red light, mauve. Kind regards, Óskar

Thanks Óskar for the information - I would never have guessed you used so many colours, but that's presumably how you achieve such subtlety in your work.
