Learn Ricky's  "7 Enamel Layers"

Learn how I create the "Layer Architecture" in all of my enamel artwork.
I've deconstructed all of the different types of layers that I create and combine.
I show you, step by step, how I do this.
I describe what I see and the questions that I ask myself while creating these layers.

After working with you on color gradations, I now realize how to bring out the depth in the enamels so they don’t look like a flat surface."
