Hi there! I'm Rob, fellow artist and Founder of The Artisan's Ascent. While I've spent decades as an appraiser, my journey as an artist began more recently in 2020, thanks to YouTube tutorials. Surprisingly, the quality of my art increased rapidly because, even as a beginner, I already had a thorough understanding of the core elements, principles of design, advanced techniques, and the value of innovation and emotional resonance (comprising the 33 Essential Factors).

In addition to appraising the works of Picasso, Dali, and Toulouse-Lautrec, I'm committed to helping artists hone their craft. Whether beginner or advanced, through a detailed analysis of the 33 Essential Factors, I guide artists in elevating their skill and optimizing their pricing. 

I'm looking forward to seeing your art in our Demo/Q&A sessions!

Rob

 PS -- I paint under the name of Robert Bek.
