A feature of Barret's work is that he would often work with other artists.
 and particularly when animals were included.
The Lowther painting of Knipe Scar included dogs that were painted by George Stubbs and the sportmen by Philip Reinagle and a painting sold in 1802 had figures attributed to Francis Wheatley.
In the 1770s he was increasingly working with Sawrey Gilpin, a leading animal painter.
 A good example of their joint work is the view of Llyn Padarn and Dolbadarn Castle in Nottingham Castle Museum which shows a party about to board the ferry crossing the lake to Llanberis.
The figures and animals are by Gilpin.
Barret’s co-operation with other artists including Gilpin at Norbury Park has already been noticed and it seems likely that he also provided the landscape backdrop for some of the artists with whom he worked.
 However Barret was competent in painting his own figures and animals and Bodkin remarks that such collaborations afford Barret’s desire for friendly intercourse with his fellows, rather than to work on his own.
