Bryant obtained gold medals for his drawings at the 1869 Sandhurst (Bendigo) and Geelong Industrial exhibitions and others were included in the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition. In May 1880 he visited Geelong with eight pencil drawings, which he was raffling in an art union of fifty subscribers.
