During production of the documentary, "Geoff Hunt: Portrait of a Marine Artist," SEA~TV was allowed full access to Hunt’s Wimbledon studio. During two days of the production Geoff allowed a rare, candid shoot of his work in progress. Geoff was beginning the sketch for a painting, which would ultimately be titled First Shots. It depicts the first cannon shots fired at Lord Nelson’s ship, Victory, as it approached the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In "Geoff Hunt: Painting in the Studio", we join Geoff as he is sketching and then he goes on to begin painting the ship, the sails, the sky and the sea. He describes his technique and explains how he builds a painting and achieves the accuracy and detail. Then we see him six months later at work on the final painting. This video also contains commentary from marine art expert and gallery owner, J. Russell Jinishian. It is a rare chance to watch a world-class artist create a painting in its crucial formative stages and see how it emerges into the final painting.
