The Founders of Brodburger by Maya (8-11 years, ACT)

Painting
The Founders of Brodburger
My family have a tradition of going to Brodburger together at Dairy Road. They're a Canberra owned business who make amazing burgers! If I could give them any award it would be best burgers ever! I chose watercolour because I like the way it looks on paper. The faces were hard to get right. Its cool how Brodburger started off in a caravan by the lake and now they've grown into a Canberra icon.
