How to write the creative process of calligraphy?

Calligraphy creation is a process, which includes three stages: preparation, operation and completion. That is, the early writing stage, the writing stage and the late writing stage, which have a clear division of labor.

First, the preparation stage? The preparation stage is the stage before writing, preparing for writing. At this stage, two preparations should be made:

(1) Material preparation: preparation of writing supplies, including pens, ink, paper, inkstones, seals, felt pads, etc. There are three kinds of pens for writing big characters: hard pen, soft pen and gel pen, which are wolf hair, wool and double-stranded brush respectively. Learn to choose and use paper. What kind of paper is used to write what kind of works.

(2) mental preparation: creative works must undergo strict conception and design, and if necessary, conduct field measurement and drawing (proofing or calling for proofing) to find out the best scheme. This can be achieved by looking at the collection of calligraphy works, finding out the creative format and content suitable for you, fully demonstrating and determining the form and content of the creative works.

Second, the operation stage

At this stage of operation, don't think about how to use a pen, how to use ink and how to write, but create in strict accordance with the design requirements of the work. This is a natural process and should be completed smoothly.

Third, the completion stage.

The completion stage is the stage of completing works in calligraphy creation. After the work is completed, it is necessary to review whether it is carried out in accordance with the design scheme and whether it meets the design requirements.

Extended data

A work, although stippling, lines, pens, structure and composition are ever-changing, always has a recurring and similar theme throughout the whole article. This is the tone. In other words, the tone in calligraphy works is a basic line that appears repeatedly and is roughly the same and plays a leading role.

For example, Huang Tingjian's running script stretches vertically and horizontally, forming the main theme of "spears and halberds", while Zhang Hai's running script of Han bamboo slips is thick and vigorous, like unofficial stippling, forming a clear and vivid main theme. The theme in calligraphy works often represents the author's personality, that is, style. The formation of style marks the maturity of the author.

Do not advocate that a calligrapher has only one style. If the main hall, banners, banners and fans in a calligrapher's personal book exhibition are all of the same tone and style, then his exhibition is undoubtedly a failure.
