Q: What programme replaces Appleworks drawing and painting

Please see these pages which examine the situation in detail:

I found I could open all my (many!) Appleworks Draw files by converting them to PDFs (use the Print dialogue and select PDF) and save the PDF.

Then drag the PDF icon onto the iDraw icon on the bottom (or side) bar. The file opens immediately and is modifiable.

iDraw is readily available in the Apple Store for about £17. A good investment I think - and a lot cheaper (and the process of conversion is easier too) than the retro Eazydraw.

Best of luck!
