Cloisonne craft painting draws lessons from the traditional cloisonne process, such as silk-pinching and blue-spotting. The silk-pinching is made of aluminum wire (gold-plated oxide), and the glue used for silk-sticking is ordinary decoration glue. After the silk is cemented, it is mixed with colored sand with an oil painting shovel, and after the sand word is dried, it is sealed with resin to produce various picture effects such as bright, matte and frosted.

Based on the traditional cloisonne technology, the new Lanyi cloisonne painting combines oil painting, traditional Chinese painting, relief painting, painting and other technologies to create a variety of effects, such as silk-free cloisonne painting, frosted cloisonne painting, luminous cloisonne painting, three-dimensional cloisonne painting and so on. The new blue art cloisonne painting has gradually become a high-grade interior decoration painting.
