Over his career, Charles Brittan developed a particular style of portraying the Dartmoor landscape. Initially his foregrounds always included a trackway of sorts but then changed to show rocks and boulders all of which sport some kind of moss or lichen. It is seldom that human figures are ever shown but in various studies cattle, sheep and ponies often feature.
 
Charles sold a watercolour to H.M. Queen Mary and was then commissioned to paint 5 watercolours of Arran by H.R.H. Prince of Wales.
