&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;In this workshop, the focus is on figurative and animal subjects, exploring essential aspects such as power through design, paint application, the significance of light, mystery, and embracing the beauty of mistakes. Lynne introduces the use of white acrylic to enhance details, provides techniques for crafting realistic skin tones, and guides you in combining elements of abstraction and realism in your watercolor paintings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Lynne offers personalized one-on-one sessions, addressing individual needs, and presents demonstrations tailored to each student's requests for a truly enriching artistic experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Join us for an immersive journey where creativity flourishes under Lynne's expert guidance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;What to expect if you are new to this workshop:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;1. To benefit the most from this workshop, you should have a basic knowledge of watercolor.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;2. You are encouraged to bring your own photograph reference (5x7 or larger and clear) or use one of the references available during the session.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;3. You will work at your own pace - each student will receive individualized instruction.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;4. Don’t worry if your supplies are limited - Lynne will help you get the most out of the materials you have.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LYNNE YANCHA&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; A.W.S.&amp;nbsp;has received national recognition for her luminous watercolors: beautiful paintings of children, animals, still-life, and landscapes. Yancha’s sensitivity to her subjects, superb drawing, painting, and timeless realism is captivating.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lynne resides in Mifflinburg, PA and has been conducting watercolor workshops at YAA for years. Her three day workshops are always well attended, inspirational and a good time.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lynneyancha.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;https:/lynneyancha.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"I always begin my work with musings. I am not sure that the work is so different from years past… what I am sure of is that I am different. I use the same techniques as always in a layered, lost and found way. My media continues to be mixed: watercolor, white acrylic, ink, lead and colored pencils. I like contrast, edge-to-edge interest, and a story: yours and mine. Mostly, I am absolutely in love with the mystery of inspiration and how it affects the process. I have a painting that is entirely different from the image with which I began. It tells its own story!"&amp;nbsp; - Lynne&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>A DEEP DIVE - THE REDUCTIVE METHOD: PAINTING WITH WATERMIXABLE OILS with Jim Starr (Tuesday, June 09, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Tuesdays | 6-9pm | All Levels | $80M $90NM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration closes 5/9/26&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;This 4-Week Class will cover the benefits of painting using the reductive method and painting with Water-Soluble oils. Students will follow Jim’s demos by painting on a provided gesso-coated hardboard. We will apply paint with brushes and palette knives and remove it with squeegees, paper towels, and Q-Tips. This method is fun and helps you quickly define your tonal values. Switching from harsh solvents to water when mixing oil paints is a game-changer!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Instruction over this 4-week Class covers: Materials and Supplies, Reductive Painting techniques, Glazing, Design/Composition, Tonalism, Preliminary Sketching, Types of Edges &amp;amp; Transitions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Plein Air Pop-up Series: LAKE REDMAN with Jim Starr (Friday, June 12, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;June 12th | 5pm-Sunset @ Lake Redman| All Levels | $45M $50 NM&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="0" data-end="221"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us for an ongoing Plein Air Pop-Up Series with artist Jim Starr, designed for artists of all skill levels. Explore the practice of Plein Air painting outdoors while capturing natural light, color, and atmosphere in real time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="225" data-end="561" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;While the series is geared toward painters, artists of all mediums are welcome. Each session includes instruction, live demonstrations, and personalized feedback to support your growth. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Pennsylvania’s summer landscapes, this is a perfect opportunity to connect with nature and your creative practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Lake Redman notes&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's a pretty view of the lake you may never have seen in a secluded location. Jim found it by accident. Remember that the area is on the East side of 83, and it is NOT where they have the paddle boats and large pavilions&amp;nbsp;to picnic.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Each session requires individual registration, so you can sign up for as many (or as few) as you’d like.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>FINDING FIGURES: An Abstract Workshop with Andi Simpson (Saturday, June 13, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SATURDAY, 6/13 | 9am-3PM | All Levels |&amp;nbsp;$150 M / $175 NM&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Registration Closes 6/6/2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="107" data-end="211"&gt;Discover the beauty of the human form through loose, expressive painting. Using acrylic, collage, and intuitive techniques, we’ll explore how to suggest figures in abstract work. Includes live model time, photo references, and creative play. Loosen up, let go, and paint with heart.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="213" data-end="512"&gt;In this creative, hands-on workshop, we'll focus on discovering and abstracting the human figure in your artwork. Whether you're just beginning to incorporate people into your paintings or you're looking to loosen up and push boundaries, this class will offer tools and inspiration to help you grow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="514" data-end="807"&gt;We'll explore a variety of methods—lighting and shape recognition, reductive painting, working from photographs, and building compelling backgrounds. You'll learn how to suggest the presence of a figure without rigid outlines, using intuitive mark-making, layering, acrylic paint, and collage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="809" data-end="1106"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A portion of the workshop will include drawing and painting from a live&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;clothed model,&lt;/strong&gt; giving you the opportunity to observe and interpret the figure in real time. Together, we'll experiment with simplifying forms, finding gestures, and letting go of perfection to embrace expressive abstraction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1108" data-end="1232"&gt;Spend the day with me learning to trust your eye, loosen your brushstrokes, and bring a soulful human element into your art.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANDI SIMPSON&lt;/strong&gt; lives in south central Pennsylvania, studied fine art/art history and graduated with a BFA from Frostburg State University.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She works with a variety of mediums, including acrylics, inks, and oils and considers her art to be abstract. Her work exhibits an ethereal sense of warmth, light, and love but also elicits the sensitive chaos found in nature. Her paintings begin with a foundation comprised of multiple layers of color and a variety of textures. Building from that background, she allows intuition to guide her. Defined shapes and forms present themselves organically as the piece progresses. She does not intend her work to espouse a specific message or extract a uniform reaction. Instead, she hopes to deliver a perpetually novel experience to each viewer, evoking unique visceral responses.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She created andiann studio to bring her art into the creative wedding realm and to broaden her reach beyond local and regional markets to clients’ homes across the country.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>POP-UP EXPANDING YOUR PALETTE WITH ENAMEL with Don Conely (Sunday, June 14, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;JUNE 14TH | 2-4pm | All Levels | DEMO/ Lecture|$20M $25NM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you consider oils to be the medium of choice for your work, but desire something beyond the usual application of tube-based pigment to canvas? Or perhaps you want to produce larger pieces but are challenged by the notion of covering all that bare canvas? Maybe you’re an abstract painter and want to give your work a different dimension or character. Maybe all of the above?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class offers an alternate creative option: the use of enamel paint to enhance your current oil painting technique. The core concept involves the use of oil-based enamel paint to complement your standard palette of traditional pigments. This paint is sold in cans at outlets like Home Improvement Centers and Hardware Stores. It is “industrial” paint, used to paint a metal railing or touch up a tractor, branded as Rustoleum among other names. If you’re asking yourself, “Why would I want to use THAT stuff?”, There are numerous interesting aspects to its use, such as: its liquid nature, thick viscosity, gloss or matt finishes, and other unique characteristics. This is especially effective for abstract work, but not exclusively – it can be used for figurative subjects as well. The unique nature of this paint can really lend an expressive dimension to your work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class will introduce the use of enamel to the traditional painting process. Topics covered will include: color choice; surface finishes; brush recommendations; application and mixing with tubebased paint; and working flat versus using an easel, among other aspects. Next day painting will also be covered - painting over the dried enamel surface for even more textural and tonal possibilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a Demo and Lecture style Pop-up. No Materials are needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Artist Biography&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don Conley&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don attended Carnegie-Mellon University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree with a double major in Painting and Illustration. During the final year he studied under illustrious abstract painter Sam Gilliam. Upon graduation, Don pursued a thirty-plus year career in professional communications as an illustrator and graphic designer in the Washington DC area, while also producing his own painting and drawing. He recently relocated to the York area and has been an Adjunct Professor at York College since 2022. Don currently sells art through private commission and public sale.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 22nd | 11am-2pm | All Levels 18+ | $75M / $90NM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration Closes 6/15&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will meet at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Lake View Pavilion at Gifford Pinchot State&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Park to start the day. This pavilion is right along the shore of the lake, with some evergreen and deciduous trees nearby.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It is a picturesque setting looking out over the water.&amp;nbsp; Some ideas for drawing subjects and a variety of techniques will be shared and discussed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Weather permitting, a short hike to take photographs or make quick sketches will follow.&amp;nbsp; Beth Kepley-McNutt, Environmental Education Specialist, will lead this hike.&amp;nbsp; Think of this as a sort of “art safari” with an opportunity to collect lots of inspiring scenes, or pictures of examples of flora and fauna.&amp;nbsp; We will return to the shelter to enjoy a working lunch as we draw from the natural surroundings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If weather is more wet, we will remain at the shelter to draw found objects in lieu of the hike.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Composition and the Principles of Design will be discussed, along with ideas on how to capture form and texture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please note: this is a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;rain or shine&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; workshop. We will only cancel if there is threat of thunderstorms, or excessive heat with no make-up date due to reservation of the pavilion. Cancellation Notice will be sent by email no later than 2 hours before the start of the event and will be at the discretion of the Instructor and York Art Association.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This unique learning experience is geared for adult artists who have registered for the workshop with the intent to draw; No children or other guests permitted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>SHOWCASE YOUR ART: MATTING AND FRAMING with Alison Baker (Wednesday, June 24, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;June 24th | 12-3pm |&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Beginner - Intermediate 18+ | $75M $90NM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Registration closes 6/17&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Do you feel rushed or indecisive in the store when you are trying to coordinate your work with matboard or frame samples?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Would you like some ideas about choosing mat colors or frame styles to best showcase your art?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This class will offer a few guidelines in choosing mat colors and frame styles to enhance your art.&amp;nbsp; There will be time to examine an assortment of colors and styles.&amp;nbsp; Matboard specifiers show the wide array of colors available currently.&amp;nbsp; Matboard corner samples will be on hand to demonstrate the effect of a variety of colors. Your art can be paired with frame chop samples to see what works for eye-catching results.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You’ll be able to take home some simple directions for future reference.&amp;nbsp; Also, a list of shops will be shared where you can find supplies such as frames, matboard, glass and more.&amp;nbsp; You’ll receive a Crescent specifier which is a pamphlet showing actual paper samples of matboard colors.&amp;nbsp; Specifiers are no longer mailed on request, but Crescent has provided enough for each person in this workshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you have a work of art that you’d like to match with matboard or frames, bring it along. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This is a fun way to consider your preferences and bring out the best in your work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;There will be time for participants to ask general questions regarding framing choices, or techniques if you frame your own work.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Optional materials:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;One piece of artwork to try out mat colors and frame styles&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Come ready to relax, reflect, create, and leave feeling inspired for the months ahead!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Students will dive into a fun and imaginative process as they create playful 3D food sculptures—think colorful desserts, stacked pancakes, sprinkled donuts, and classic hot dogs!

This hands-on experience encourages creativity, experimentation, and a little bit of delicious-looking fun (no eating required!).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>UNDER THE SEA - with Sue Miller (Monday, July 20, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;July 20th -23rd | 10am-12pm | Ages 6-10 | $140M $160NM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dive into creativity during our “Under the Sea” Camp! Your child will explore the wonders of ocean life by designing and creating their very own sea creatures, then bringing their underwater world to life in a personalized shoebox diorama. From colorful fish to imaginative deep-sea creatures, each project will be a unique ocean adventure!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you happen to have extra shoeboxes, toilet paper tubes, or other small recyclable materials at home, we would greatly appreciate any donations—they help make our creations even more magical!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUE MILLER&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;began drawing at a young age, around 7 years old. She would often draw animals, plants, and trees around her house to share with her parents and grandparents. She was mesmerized by the famous artists' works found in books and on TV, admiring the “great masters.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sue continued to grow and learn art forms at York College of PA, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree. As an artist, she continues to learn techniques from other artists such as David J. Rogers, Bianca Rosen, and Bradley Hendershot, who have influenced the shaping of her own unique style. Her goal is to share her enthusiasm and joy for the arts while encouraging students to learn something new every day. She believes that all students are capable of learning to draw and paint with patience and practice.&amp;nbsp;She is a proud member of the York Art Association.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Dive into creativity during our “Under the Sea” Camp! Your child will explore the wonders of ocean life by designing and creating their very own sea creatures, then bringing their underwater world to life in a personalized shoebox diorama. From colorful fish to imaginative deep-sea creatures, each project will be a unique ocean adventure!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you happen to have extra shoeboxes, toilet paper tubes, or other small recyclable materials at home, we would greatly appreciate any donations—they help make our creations even more magical!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration closes July 20th&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span data-ogsc="black" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Give your child a wildly creative experience at our&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span data-ogsc="black" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Paws and Paint camp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ogsc="black" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;! Young artists will explore painting techniques while bringing their favorite animals to life on canvas—from fluffy pets to scaly critters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span data-ogsc="black" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What makes this camp extra special? Real animal visitors from &lt;strong&gt;Critter Connections&lt;/strong&gt;! Campers will have the unique opportunity to observe and interact with live animals, helping them capture authentic details, personality, and movement in their artwork.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
