Director's Notes:

I'm pleased to let you all know that Joshua Langstaff is moving back to our area and will be teaching at Sanctuary Arts this Fall. (He will also be teaching virtual classes for his former teacher, Juliet Aristides.) I was lucky to be able to study figure drawing and painting with Joshua for a time. A consummate painter, he is also an inspiring teacher. He breaks down instruction into small, comprehensible steps and is able to meet each student at their skill level and guide and encourage them. He is also very curious about the palette choices of some of the old masters, broadening our knowledge about pigments and color mixing techniques. You could tell he is passionate about painting and his passion is contagious. We all became better painters under his excellent guidance.
