Jessie Kanelos Weiner, a multifaceted artist, thrives on her chronic creativity, using it to express herself through various mediums including her latest book, Thinking in Watercolor. After moving to Paris over 16 years ago, Jessie transitioned from costume design to watercolor art, where her illustrations have gained recognition among notable brands. In her writings, particularly her new book, Jessie encourages both novice and seasoned creatives to explore watercolor painting as a means to share their experiences and perspectives, inspiring a deeper connection with their creative passions.
Living life sparks my creativity. It's how I interact with the world, how I feed my soul and how I connect with others.
Thinking in Watercolor is a 30 day how-to guide on how to paint with watercolors and use the medium to sense of and communicate one's own experiences.
I started a blog in 2011 where I shared my musings on adjusting to Parisian life, settling down with a Frenchie and all the times I put my foot in my mouth.
Instead of adding bad phone photos, I illustrated each post with a watercolor. I was merging my own words with my own visual and something really clicked from within.
