A chapel in the snow

Join me in the little village just above where we live in the Pyrenees, on a quiet, sunny winter morning after an overnight snowfall.

Last week we woke to a world transformed — fresh snow, clear blue skies, and that special hush that only comes after a big dump of snow. We wandered up through the forest and into the village above ours, where I spotted this simple little chapel covered by snow. It instantly felt like a scene we should paint together.

There’s so much to explore in this lesson: the soft, snowy background, the snow-covered stone wall, tangled brambles, and of course the beautiful shadows on the snow.

Happy painting!
