Breaking Free: Mood and Atmosphere

3 day workshop with Tony Allain

 in Grand Junction, CO

June 7, 8, 9, 2026

 Open only to PSC members

 Registration will open November 8th at noon.

The quest for perfection can bring with it fear of making mistakes and can result in a style which can seem inhibited. My workshops will inspire you to fall in love with colour and light! We will experiment and activate the potential of complementary, harmonious and tertiary colours that will lift our work to another exciting level. We will look at ways of how to unlock your confidence and imagination in your own creativity. I’ll share some tips and methods drawn from my own way of working, where colour and light plays a central and passionate part of my personal artistic practice.

Artists use colour, values to express themselves and aim to make you feel something when you look at it. In this demonstration we will concentrate on freedom and spontaneity to add elements of semi abstraction but still keep association with reality. If you ever wanted to bring a looser and more painterly feel to your work loaded with juicy colour and flooded with light? Join me and I will share some of my working methods concentrating on painting the landscape that delight you and excite the viewer. Using our reference material and sketches we can bring some fresh colour and a more painterly feel to your work our aim is to break free from the restraints of perfection and give ourselves permission to capture the essence of the subject in an intuitive way with the freedom of “brushwork” that has its roots in the style of alla prima giving a lively and vigorous mark that is instrumental in expressing mood and atmosphere.
