Snow in New Orleanes (St Louis Cathedral in Watercolor)

Hi friends! Last week, my friend Carey posted photos of New Orleans in a snowstorm, and they were so pretty! especially a photo of St Louis Cathedral in the snow. I asked if I could use his photo to paint from, and he graciously allowed it!

You can watch the timelapse of this painting below. I had a bit of trouble with the paper because the sizing went bad on one edge but it turned out all right in the end. You can find a real-time tutorial of this painting including a traceable pattern in Critique Club.
