In this context, 'ஓவாமல்' means 'without stopping', showing an adverbial usage to convey uninterrupted action.
ஓவியர் ஓவியங்கள் வரைவது அவருக்குப் பிடிக்கும்.
The artist likes drawing paintings.
Here, 'ஓவியம்' is related to artwork, and the sentence indirectly uses the root concept of 'ஓ வு' in the word 'ஓவியங்கள்' (paintings).
