‘Guides to Decorative and French Mats’ by Russ Wood
Russ Wood returned to framing and started Grey Owl Framing on his retirement
in 2007. Living in Colorado, USA, he is known for his unique decorative mat elements used with paper based media. These elements include single and variegated painted bevels, hand-painted
and hand-laid panels, painted and unpainted decorative papers, metal leaf or genuine 22k and 24k gold leaf, embossed or ink lines and painted or gesso laid mats.
‘Decorative Papers’
Decorative papers workwell with many designs. This guide shows how they
are used as Panels, Wrapped Bevel Layers, Reveals, Paper Layers,Open V-Groves
Historically, decorative mats with lines and panels have been called “French Mats”. These panels
are often done with very pale watercolour washes. While he 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: greyowlframing.com. He has now prepared four unique Guides, based on the way he does his decorative mat elements. His work is simple but wonderful. They are beautifully written and detailed with lots of photos and illustrations .
‘Lines and Ruling Pens’
Russ taught his first
class on ruling pens
more than 50 years
ago, in high school.
This guide details his
accumulated knowledge
since then: everything
from markingcorners to
sharpening; common mistakes, and adding genuine gold leaf to ink lines. 33pp
