"Untitled" by Claudia Patino Tarlow

Claudia was born in Colombia South America where she lived all of her childhood. She grew up in a small town outside of Cali, Colombia and starting drawing when she was 5 years old with colors that her friends gave to her. She came from a very poor family and even Crayons were a luxury. Everyone kept telling her mother how talented she was. When she was 8 years old Claudia won a painting competition through a famous painter in Colombia whose name is Raul Rayon. Unfortunately her family was too poor to be able to help her with painting supplies so art was a silent passion for many years and doodling on notebooks in school was where she developed a lot of her fluid skills.

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.

Canvas Printing

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 Prints – How are they made?

Photography by Laurie Barone-Shafer

Nowadays just about anyone can take a good quality photographs with a digital camera. Or take a few hundred pictures and the chances are few will be good, and even one or two outstanding.

Here are a few tips, tricks and techniques on how to make art print poster ready photographs and print ready digital files. Don’t get overwhelmed, there is a lot of information here, but a lot of it is just intuitive. Well, a bit of patience will always help.

First thing – Photo Size

If you taking a digital photo of you family or friend the largest size you would print is usually 5 by 7 inches, maybe 8 by 10 at the most. Even small size digital photographs (2MB or less) are ‘good enough’ to create a decent print. But if you want to create prints that are 16 by 20, 20 by 24 inches or larger you need more pixels (in pixels 20 by 24 inches photo is actually about 40 times larger than 3 by 4 inches photo assuming they have the same resolution).

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.
