    Can't tell if original or prints. May have to take them out of the frames. If original, they have to be some kind of mix media. Maybe gouache, graphite, stencil, watercolor?
    Thanks[​IMG]

    Thanks. There is plenty of info on the artist but I was trying to figure the medium of the pieces. I took one out of the frame and to my eyes it looks like a hand colored print?

    Whether tinted by hand or not, the blown-up photos really look like pencil, as opposed to brush, or maybe sharp pastels? I think I'll see if I can find any mention of specific techniques. Fortunately, I can re-use my own link above. LOL

    I think I will stick to my original thought. Probably a pochoir technique was used. Medium possibly are pencil and watercolor and/or gouache.

    Pochoirs are created using stencils, so generally have areas of flat color. These don't look like pochoirs to me.

    I agree that it looks like these are sketches, perhaps combining watercolor and a sketch medium. These could be originals or good quality reproductions... can't tell online.
