Geoff Allen

​

Join nationally recognized, award-winning plein air watercolor artist Geoff Allen for an inspiring workshop that celebrates the beauty, spontaneity, and expressive power of watercolor. Geoff's acclaimed painting, Color for Nothing, was featured on the cover of PleinAir Magazine (June/July 2024), and he was a featured instructor at the 2025 Plein Air Convention & Expo in Reno, Nevada.

For Geoff, watercolor is more than a painting medium—it's a philosophy of embracing the unexpected and "going with the flow." He thrives on stepping into a landscape and capturing its fleeting light, atmosphere, and spirit with fresh, confident brushwork. The excitement of discovery, the challenge of responding to changing conditions, and the expressive freedom of watercolor are at the heart of his creative process.

In this engaging workshop, participants will enjoy a combination of classroom instruction and outdoor plein air painting sessions. Geoff will demonstrate his approach to composition, value, color, and expressive brushwork while sharing the techniques and mindset that have made him one of today's most respected watercolor artists. Whether you're looking to strengthen your skills or discover a more intuitive way of painting, this workshop offers an exceptional opportunity to learn from a master and experience the joy of painting outdoors.
