    Oh, no... I hope it doesn't seem like I'm ignoring anyone! :eek:

    I wish one of these sketches was in really bad condition so I could fool around with different techniques to separate it. As it is, I hate the thought of mucking it up. :wideyed:

    Can post them on a discussions page that's not open to the general public, if you don't want to bandy them about here! ;) I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders what your sketches look like.. :joyful:

    Thanks! I have 10 sketches. The one that's back to back with the one I posted is more of a quick sketch that's kind of "eh." The rest are nice, but some more so than others.

    I'll try to remember to post them in the General Discussion forum when I get them scanned.

    These were total surprises from my mother's large stash of all sorts of things. I was oohing and ahing when I found them.

    Apologies, I must have missed the one you posted? I just went back to the start of this post to look again, but did not see it?

    Wow, you can't see it? Are you on a phone and could that cause it not to display?

    Here it is again...

    Probably a regular gouache, but I wonder if this might be a pochoir? Check to see if there's evidence of stenciling?

    In Focus | Elegance and Extravagance: A Brief History of Pochoir

    stencils were then handed over to the coloristes, expert craftsmen who would apply watercolour ink or gouache through each layer with a variety of soft and coarse brushes. Using a range of pressures alongside the countless techniques available to them, from daubing to swiping, spraying, and spattering, almost any application and gradation of paint could be imitated with near faultless fidelity. As the brushed ink would settle briefly against the sides of the stencil, each pochoir print would also be left with a slightly raised, textured print surface, discernible to the eye and to the touch.

    Not a pochoir (I have some items that are), but I agree that it's probably gouache.

    I'd expect so, as yours are probably not meant to be reproduced, but I do think a lot of pochoir are ID'd as gouache... :)

    Neato! Your mother sounds like a really interesting woman :)

    I think she was interesting and complex, but she was pretty reserved with most people so on the surface seemed fairly conventional. But a lot of her interests and takes on things weren't very conventional at all.

    Her entire career was spent in a room full of artists (textile designers)... sans cubicles or separate offices... in the middle of Manhattan. Kind of conducive to an unconventional inner and interpersonal life, I think.

    Was she a designer?

    Yup, a textile designer. She specialized in floral prints and somewhat in ornamental designs, too, and worked for a studio near the garment district that sold their artists' designs to fabric and clothing manufacturers.

    That's why I inherited a large collection of reproduction prints and illustrated botanical and decorative arts books... my mother collected them for inspiration and sometimes incorporated bits of old art work in her designs.
