But first, learn more about Robert, founder of this site
His painting journey begins back in 2001 when Robert first discovered watercolors while living in South Walton Beach, Florida. It didn’t take Robert long to fall in love with art. In 2004, Robert decided to use his creative skills to make a living.
This came with a set of challenges like how would he make enough money to survive, would Robert sell art to make a living, or could he help others through teaching, or do both.
Robert scoured the web to find a resource that could help him both sell art and build tutorials for other watercolor, acrylic and mixed media artists. At the time, most tutorials were in books, and not YouTube. After many years, and tears, the dream became a reality and Robert started painting full-time in 2012.
In 2014 Robert launched Painthog as a resource targeted for those that want to paint loose, and abstract style art using watercolor, acrylic and mixed media. Since that time the brand has switch to Crafted by Robert in order to make it more personal with students and fellow artists.
