"Enamel miniatures are more costly than watercolor miniatures, due to their complex and risky creation process. An artist begins by applying the color with the highest firing temperature and then applies and fires subsequent layers. The intense firing process in a kiln ensures that the colors do not fade. Risks from firing include cracks and kiln dust, which appears as small black specks."
