The Barnes Atelier of Art

It’s easy to admire anyone with high integrity, and theirs was evident in everything they do: their commitment to the work itself, to each student’s development, in the purposely small class sizes, and in the personal attention they give.

I also enrolled to drawing class from a popular online Concept Art school and by using Travis' techniques and suggestions, I applied them to my assignments for that class and I can say with confident that out of the 18 students in that class, I was placed in the top 3.

Travis observational skills combined with his expertise and commitment to teaching have allowed me to gain a better understanding of all the elements that allow for a good quality piece of art.

Travis is an excellent teacher and mentor, very patient with all the questions that I have, and guides me in a very structured and methodical manner in my drawings and paintings.

Nice atmosphere in nice place...

Excellent teaching!!!

Their experience is such that they understand the needs of each student giving guidance inspiration and critiques to enable everyone to understand, move ahead and 'get better'.

It' has a great ambience, the tuition is second to none and derived from a long lineage of solid, quality art instruction as it 'used to be taught' and Travis makes you feel at complete ease.

I highly recommend this School, I did two courses there and my experience could not be better, also Travis is an amazing teacher and is knowledge is precious.

I have been a part time student at Barnes for the past 3 years (following the drawing programme through to painting) and am very happy with the progress I have made during this time.
