Details play a crucial role in any field, but especially in the art form of calligraphy. The handling of details directly determines the quality and success of the work. In the competition between masters, the details often become the key to winning or losing. When judging the work, the judges will take the details as an important criterion, and over-amplify every subtlety.
In calligraphy training, we need to pay attention to every detail, even if it is a small nib, repeated use can lead to small problems. For example, when someone plays a lattice, although they consciously know how to make it more beautiful, when they actually operate it, they will expose problems in details. When using a pen to make a grid on rice paper, it is easy to have two "bumps" between starting and closing the pen, because the force is heavier when entering and closing the pen, and the line in the middle is evenly forced. To solve this problem, we can use a small trick: before drawing the line, put a piece of paper on the beginning and end of the line. In this way, the two "bumps" will naturally remain on the paper of the pad when drawing the line, thus avoiding black spots at both ends.
This small detail, although it may seem simple, is part of the calligraphy technique. Many people don't pay attention to this detail, which leads to a rough appearance when drawing auxiliary lines in the grid. Therefore, we must always pay attention to details in order to continue to improve in calligraphy training and create more beautiful works.
Here are a few details to encourage you:
First: Since ancient times, everyone has a love for beauty, and the ancients have long evaluated the "four beautiful men" and "four beautiful women". Today's society is a society of "face control", and now appearance is particularly important, and sociologists evaluate appearance as part of personal ability. In fact, calligraphy creation is the same, the part is to serve the whole, the whole as much as possible to the beautiful place, the beauty of the word, the beauty of the paper, the beauty of the seal, the appreciator no one does not like the beautiful. So the line of cursive, the national exhibition to engage in or two kings, Mi Fu,
Category 1. In the book world that talks about appearance, a good image is always a plus. It is and will be in the future.
Second: the attitude of creation is more important than the ability to write.
In a short period of time, it is impossible to further improve the skills and skills of calligraphy works. The mentality of creation is particularly important, many masters of national exhibitions, a work has written more than a dozen drafts, the more the deadline, the more unable to play. Writing and writing entered the "fatigue period", and by the time the deadline came, I still thought that the previous drafts were better written. The old members all agree that there are "excitement periods", "fatigue periods" and "oppression periods" ...... calligraphy creationWhenever there is something in the heart, the creation will naturally be worse. Many masters know this situation, the more they create in advance, the better the effect of the work will be, pay attention to this creative detail, and good works are easier to be born.
Third: If you want to enter the exhibition, you must have the confidence to win and strive to write.
Come out with a different work.
Many masters have this kind of awareness, deliberately raising their horizons, thinking that it is difficult to create big characters, so I have to write big characters. I think that a plain face of paper is difficult to produce an effect without splicing, so I just use a piece of paper to write. When I was drafting, I had the mindset that I wanted to be different.
Here is an example, there is a book friend in Hubei who has always insisted on writing Xiaokai, and there are too many people in the country who write Xiaokai, why can he always enter the exhibition?It turns out that he always does the opposite, and others set the characters in small block letters at 1 cm to 1Between 2 centimeters, when he created the work, he pressed the small Kai to 06 centimeters, smaller than the hard pen written by ordinary people, with this trick alone, both handscrolls and albums have been exhibited. As he himself said, in fact, many people are at a similar level as him, he just doesn't take the big road and walks the small road, avoiding the traffic jam of submission.
