Grisaille is an enameling technique that
uses only black and white. Two or more layers of black form
the ground and anywhere from 4 to 34 layers of white are used
to build up the highlights. Some of the best examples of this
technique come from the 15th century - you can see an example here.
Mine is considerably simpler - having
only 5-6 layers of white ovver 3 layers of black, and being embellished with a slight
tinting and metallic gold.
