Born in Cincinnati, Charles Allan Winter enrolled in the Cincinnati Art Academy at a young age. He was awarded a Foreign scholarship from the school in 1894 to study at the Académie Julian in Paris under William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gabriel Ferrier, as well as a scholarship to study in Rome. Returning to the US, he taught portraiture at the St. Louis School of Fine Art from 1898 to 1901. It was there that he met his future wife Alice Beach who was also an artist.
