Thinking in Watercolor

“Weiner’s new book, Thinking in Watercolor, reflects her passion for making art accessible and joyful.”–Jenn Rice, Forbes“Jessie Kanelos Weiner is one of my favorite Paris artists. An American-in-Paris, a Substacker, a stand-up comedian and a stand-out watercolorist, I’ve loved Jessie’s work since I saw it in an early issue of Cherry Bombe Magazine – it’s lyrical, smart and beautiful…. that her passion for what she does extends to wanting to help others find joy in painting is a gift to us. Her newest book is a guide to becoming a storyteller through art.”–Dorie Greenspan, xoxoDorie
