Brush writing is the essence of traditional Chinese calligraphy, which is not only the expression of words, but also the embodiment of art. For beginners, it's important to master some basic tips to get started. Below, we will introduce some basic methods and suggestions on how to practice calligraphy.
1. Choose the right brush
Choosing the right brush is the first step in practicing calligraphy. There are many types of brushes, which are mainly divided into three types: hard, soft and both. The hard pen has good elasticity and is suitable for writing small characters and fine strokes;The soft pen is soft and full, suitable for writing large characters and rough strokes;The pen has both characteristics and is suitable for beginners. In addition, before using a new pen, you need to soak it in warm water, squeeze out the water, and then dip it in ink.
2. Master the correct posture of holding the pen
The posture of holding the pen is crucial to the effectiveness of the writing. The correct posture for holding the pen should be: the thumb and index finger pinch the barrel, the middle finger gently supports the barrel, the ring finger and little finger are naturally bent, and the palm is empty. The grip of the pen should be moderately tight, too tight will be stiff, too loose will be weak.
3. Practice basic strokes
Mastering basic strokes is the foundation for practicing calligraphy well. The basic strokes include horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, stroke, dot, etc. When practicing, pay attention to the process of starting, moving, and closing strokes, as well as the thickness, length, and inclination of strokes. Through repeated practice, students will gradually master the writing skills of various strokes.
Fourth, copy the copy
Copying calligraphy is an effective way to learn calligraphy. By copying the calligraphy of ancient masters, you can learn their penmanship, structure and chapter method.
