Eileen shares, “Whether the painting is created outdoors for plein air or in the comfort of my studio the process is the same. All paintings begin with a full size sketch created on location. I use student grade watercolor paper size 18 x 24 and a combination of water soluble graphite pencils and crayons. The purpose of the sketch is to design a composition that I believe has potential for a good painting. The sketch is used as my blueprint and will dictate most of my painting decisions. I break away from traditional painting choices such as local color, light source, perspective and form. My stylized paintings reflect not only what I see but what I feel.“
