Hello Mr Archambault!
My name is Billy Norrby and I’m a third year junior at SVA, going into my fourth year.
Im at the illustration department and have been studying painting extensively with Marvin Mattelson these last three years.
As much as I’ve enjoyed my painting experience here at SVA, with excellent teachers such as Mattelson and Steven Assael, I feel that I’ve been missing out in the drawing department and that I’m not as good of a draftsman as I could have been.
Hoping to make up for my lacking drawing skills, I’m looking for a great teacher who can re-inforce what I’m learning in my oil painting classes. To help me reinforce my weak and wobbly structure!
I’ve bought DVD’s of your website and I really enjoy your teaching method. And you do come highly praised and recommended by Marvin!
So therefore I wonder if you are throwing any workshops this summer in New York, or if there are any other opportunities to learn from you this coming period?
Best regards!
Billy Norrby
