Hamptons Artists Claudia Patino Tarlow | Claudia Patino Tarlow |
 "Untitled" by Claudia Patino Tarlow Claudia moved to the United States when she was 18 years old with a very different perspective on how to go about living her life. She came to work and struggled to survive as an immigrant in this country with no family and very little English at the time but started going to school so she could do something for herself. Claudia met her partner and moved to Florida for several years where she completed her Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology but continued to paint on the side, giving away her paintings to all of her friends who commented on how unique they thought her style was. Through her interest in Scuba Diving and her studies of Marine Mammals Claudia became an avid enthusiast in Underwater Photography and also became very creative with Stone and Garden work, painting on any piece of wood or slate that she could get a hold of. Some of her best pieces have been on large concrete slabs which are now scattered about numerous homes in South Florida. Claudia has an innate talent in capturing emotions and tends to paint with vivid moving colors or black and white photography. This is an artist that truly just loves to paint what it is in her mind. She tends to paint very abstract yet fluid paintings with very rich deep colors. She recently moved to Sag Harbor NY and is in awe with all of the natural beauty here. Paintings just seem to spill out of her very inspired mind. She is glad to be surrounded by such a great community of artists in Sag Harbor and the rest of the Hamptons. |

Printing on canvas is incredibly versatile and a great way to create a ready-to-hang image or artwork. Every canvas that we print is protected with a UV coated acrylic finish to guard the print from dust, moisture and fading. Do you want your canvas stretched on bars or non-stretched? Framed or unframed? Customize the work to make it truly your own. |
| Art of Photography |
|
When families get together, both children and adults love to look through photograph albums. They enjoy seeing the childhood photos of older family members and compare themselves to ancestors who lived a hundred or more years ago. Photos are among the most important treasures of every family. They should not be faded and dull. They contain the smiles, tears and emotions of generations. The staff members at Hampton Photo Arts display excellence in the art of photography reproduction. They work with the highest quality materials. They know how to create family memories that will be just as beautiful one hundred years from now as they are today. |
Photography is an amazing art form. A photograph album is a catalogue of life's history as seen through the camera. People, animals, nature, holidays, celebrations and even disasters are captured instantly and recorded as part of history. It is through the powerful presentations of photography that we better understand the progression of time and life. Hampton Photo Arts has over twenty years of experience working with photographers as they seek to capture and preserve the history of families and communities.| Learning to Paint Watercolors |
|
Watercolor is an easy, fun medium for creating art. Color theory, composition and design can be explored freely with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes. Several techniques may be used with watercolors for varying effects including painting wet on wet, wet on dry, layering washes, and more. Watercolor paper comes in cold press, hot press, and rough. Rough paper has the most texture, and its hills and valleys can result in interesting effects when paint is added. Hot press is the smoothest and has the finest texture. Cold press has a moderate amount of texture and is the paper most commonly chosen by watercolor artists. Watercolor paper comes in several weights ranging from 90 lb. to 300 lb. based on the pounds per ream of paper. Most artists prefer to use at least 140 lb. paper. Papers vary somewhat between manufacturers, so sampling different papers is advisable. Paper can be purchased in pads, in blocks or in large sheets. The large sheets are usually the most economical and can be torn into whatever size is desired. |
