Welcome!

Insightful and independent minded, award winning artist, Leo Kahl senses and documents the art hidden within our everyday lives with passion, honesty and a keen sense of the moment. Proficient in multiple mediums, he primarily chooses watercolor to quickly express his reactions to mood rich scenes.  A sophisticated use of color and light romantically captures the character and mystery of his subjects. His enthusiastic and infectious love of art and painting is matched only by his passion for teaching others to find joy in their own artistic journeys.

" think of your painting like a broadway play...who or what is the star?"

A grounded understanding of “why” watercolor does what it does and why basic techniques are so important for    success with this medium.  Learn more….

Learning tools

Workshops are great, however, my own watercolor skills have only improved by watching the methods of world class artists over and over again. Refer to my instructional products at your own pace as often as you’d like to fully grasp essential concepts and ideas.
