He was also a member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI). Brewtnall had a particular interest in Folk tales and Ballads which became the subjects of many of his paintings such as "Cinderella", "The Frog Princess" (1880), "Little Red Riding Hood" (1895), "Sleeping Beauty" etc.[2] He provided artwork for The Graphic, Pall Mall Magazine, The Quiver, and English Illustrated Magazine, among other magazines and periodicals, and illustrated books such as Barnard's edition of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress"[3] and others.
