My name is Elisabeth Huneycutt.
I am currently working towards my BFA in Painting at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Winning this competition would mean a lot to me. I am currently working and commuting to school in order to make it through. If I were to get this award I would use the money to fund my art. I would love to create larger scale work, and the money would help me achieve that…

Thank you ‘T’!. I found your article “How I got my art back” really helpful and inspiring.
I never studied art formally apart from a brief 6 week summer school 20 years ago, which hindered rather than helped me due to its focus on expressive methods and the short time spent actually learning to draw – the first 2 days in total! I think that experience put me off really, but like you the ‘something missing’ thought kept recurring. My dad was a typographer and graphic artist who taught me lots about drawing, but although much of it became ingrained in my subconscious, I was too ‘lazy’ to really spend any significant amount of time putting what he taught me into practice. I suspect that the ‘laziness’ was a form of perfectionism masked as procrastination – ‘I can never be as good as the artists I like so it is better not to try.’..

As a subscriber to Drawing Academy, I have received snippets of useful information concerning the sweet science of drawing and have learned great tricks that when applied to my art have reaped positive results. However, as a self-taught artist, I feel limited in my drawing abilities. Although I have been drawing my whole life and have continually pushed my drawing skills ahead by watching videos, reading art books and studying works my the masters (Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael), I feel unsatisfied and feel the lack of classical training has hindered my progress…
I was born in the remotest part of Zambia within the area surounded by the national park and my life was an encounter with animals and loved to hunt. And because of always watching nature, I was led to like to draw what ever I saw and I started drawing at an early age without knowing how important art is. But now I have come to know how art is significant in playing a role in conservation of natural resourses. I have become more like an activist in conservation of natural resources and am living on art after having not gone through formal learning of how to draw and paint…
I am self-educated artist. I base my art on techniques of the Old Masters. I’m trying to keep the same spark in the times we live. I believe that this is possible. This is the legacy that we must follow…
