An Experienced Artist & Supportive Teacher
I’m Mark Mannering Barton, a professionally trained artist and tutor with over 30 years of experience in fine art and commercial design. My work specialises in highly detailed animal portraiture, with commissions created for clients across the UK.
Alongside my portrait practice, I offer private and small group art tuition for adults who want to learn properly and progress with confidence. My teaching combines structured foundations with a calm, encouraging approach.
Lessons are tailored to your interests whether landscapes, still life, pets, portraits or simply mastering the fundamentals at your own pace.
Whether you are a complete beginner or returning to art later in life, my aim is to make learning focused, enjoyable and genuinely rewarding.
