Starting a pen refers to the beginning of painting; Closing a pen refers to the end of a painting. The basic method of starting a pen is: write horizontally when writing vertically, and write vertically when writing horizontally. In other words, when writing a vertical diagram, write a short horizontal diagonal first. When writing a horizontal picture, write a short oblique straight line first. After the pen starts, it is followed by the pen, and the pen runs. When writing, it's lighter and faster. The main methods of collecting pens are: collect what you have to do without shrinking. For example, when writing a horizontal painting, go right to the end, stop, and return to the left to collect the pen. When writing a vertical painting, write to the end, stop and go back to the front to collect the pen. When writing garter st, write to the end and collect the pen from the front. You should pull your pen to the end.
China's calligraphy, every time he writes a painting, has three processes: starting a pen, carrying a pen and collecting it. The predecessors called these three processes "three-point method". For example, when writing a horizontal "one", he must first start writing a pen to the right and then fold it to the left. When he moves the pen to the right, it becomes two folds, and when he returns to the front, it becomes three folds. All the other paintings are vertical, and so are skimming.
2. Pen and signature pen (press)
Pen-lifting refers to the action of writing a picture first, and then writing a second picture to avoid scribbling and unclear explanation. The second refers to the pen lifting in a painting. Under normal circumstances, the pen tip does not leave the paper surface, and thin lines (stippling) appear in the pen lifting effect.
The process of writing can be said to be based on the alternating changes of the brush running at a low position, which is often very rapid. If there are obvious changes between strokes or within a stroke, there will be changes in thickness, and only when there is a change in thickness will there be expressions and charm.
Step 3 be light and heavy
The weight of the calligraphy pen is closely related to Teton, so it needs to be dropped frequently and must be heavier. Be sure to lift your pen gently. When the pen is light, the strokes are thin, and when the pen is heavy, the strokes are thick. When the pen runs on the paper, alternating use of force can make stippling vivid. There are three situations about the weight of the pen: divide the pen head into two halves, and then divide the lower part into three equal parts. When writing, if half of it is spread out, it is called "split pen", if two-thirds is spread out, it is called "split pen", and the lower part is completely spread out, it is called "split pen". Secondly, the weight of the pen is another aspect of expressing a certain calligraphy style. Calligraphy works with light strokes give people a light and graceful feeling, such as Chu Suiliang, while those with heavy strokes give people a dignified and calm feeling, such as Yan Zhenqing.
Step 4 flip forward and fold forward
Turn to the front, that is, write a circle after the pen tip touches the paper and draw a point without edges and corners. Turn the front to carry the pen: wrap the pen with the front, don't press it again, turn the pen once, the speed of carrying the pen is relatively uniform, and the angle keeps falling. That's what "circle" means.
