open studio: untitled study for a painting by kelly heaton

Untitled Study for a Painting, 2016.  Colored pencil and graphite on paper.  11" x 13"

Continued studies for larger oil paintings.  I'm working on balancing realism with the expressive character of the components.  They are little energetic beings, after all.

open studio: astable multivibrator drawing series #1 by kelly heaton

Astable multivibrator #1, 2016.  Graphite, watercolor, and ink on paper.  41" x 33." Kelly Heaton

Studio finances are tight these days, so I'm making images of electronics instead of building circuits or sculpting them (both of which I love but cost $).  Here's my first large drawing of an analog astable multivibrator, an oscillating circuit that I use very often.
