The oil-paper umbrella is an important cultural symbol of Jiangnan. It is light, soft and graceful, so it is not suitable for painting things like buildings, as it will look clumsy. The dragon is a symbol of imperial power and the embodiment of strength and perseverance, which is not too out of tune with the feminine beauty of the oil-paper umbrella.
Option 1: It is recommended that you depict the misty Jiangnan scenery in the style of ink painting. Pay attention to adding less architectural things and more natural elements. Flowing water or adding some flowers will give people a light feeling. Then integrate JJ Lin as the person in the scene, and add some calligraphy elements appropriately.
Option 2: You can collect some patterns on blue and white porcelain and embed them into the edge of the umbrella. These patterns are very Chinese. Of course, it doesn’t have to be painted in blue, and then JJ Lin’s paintings are integrated into it. When opened, it looks like an umbrella, and when closed, it looks like an exquisite porcelain bottle. The image of JJ Lin pops up on the bottle. It should be noted that the pattern should be hazy and have the feeling of ink and wash. The color system can be selected from the cyan or ink color system in traditional Chinese painting.
Generally speaking, this is more in line with JJ Lin’s singing style.
