Email this Video to a FriendWhat a rare treat to experience master maritime painter Steven Dews painting The Battle of Trafalgar! He takes us along to his studio and shows us a few tricks of his trade as he works on a painting. A little behind-the-scenes note: since we usually only get to see finished paintings, our entire crew stood silent and in awe as we played the first rough edit!

I am a sailor and a painter in the twilight of my life. In the 50’s I repaired a dingy and a small sailboat. Later, I sailed competitively a moth and won quite frequently. I fell in love with wooden boats and often had to repair broken tillers.
I painted in college but never close to the level of Master Artist Dews. This is a marvelous painting and the video explaining the techniques of prospective and use of a painting maul are just plain fantastic.
Please keep up following this master.

What a wonderful way of using one medium (digital video) to illuminate another (oil on canvas)! Hats off to you for seizing a great opportunity.

Wow. Awesome. Again. Thanks !
Who knew small boats took part in battle at sea? Not I.
Must be a book to be written about that, if not already.
Philip Myer says:
Ship of the Line usually launched all its boats and towed them behind so as to reduce the risk of them being damaged in battle.

I forward your talent to my friends here in Southern California. mainly sailor’s or in the boating world.

As a retired shipwright, who is now a full-time painter, I appreciate both the nautical and artistic elements of this video. Steve Dews is of course – the best.
another great video
