Eileen Kennedy loves to draw. Before she ever touches a brush to canvas or panel, she draws and draws and draws some more. Here are preparatory drawings for recent egg tempera paintings. Nautilus and Composition in Primary Colors can be seen in the Paintings section of this site. Wednesday is still in the drawing stage. The artist considers these highly finished studies as completed artworks in themselves and frequently exhibits them with her paintings. When the drawings are complete, she takes a tracing of the drawing, and transfers the major lines to her canvas or wooden panel using vine charcoal, Saral transfer paper, or handmade transfer paper.
