Medium:  Acrylic Screen Print on Canvas    Size: 8x10

I've gotten really re-interested in printmaking lately and this cupcake piece is the first try and getting back into screenprinting.  I have not screenprinted in a number of years and the red outline really shows that.  I do believe that part of my issue was the lack of additional coats of gesso to fill in some of the dips on the canvas.  Both the yellow and blue parts were painted on after the red outline had time to dry.

I was very excited to do this again and can't wait to get a little more into it.  I have many ideas that I'd love to do and will hopefully be able to show them in a couple weeks...when I'm not painting, drawing or working on my etching of the bridge in the previous post.
