Russ Wood
Russ returned to framing and
started Grey Owl Framing on his retirement in 2007. Living in Colorado, USA, he is renowned for his unique
decorative mat elements used with paper based media.
Russ still does some pale watercolour washes and lines in the traditional
French Mat style. Most of his lines and panels are now from brighter coloured media which he believes is more appropriate for many designs.
View some of Russ’s work at: www.greyowlframing.com. He has prepared four unique Guides, based on the way he does hisdecorativematelements. Readaboutthemonp.94
