Brush calligraphy tips for beginners

If you press the pen down to write, the stroke will be thicker, and if you lift it up, the stroke will be thinner. Just like the two feet of a person walking, one is down and the other is lifted, constantly alternating, the pen is constantly lifting and pressing during the writing process. Only in this way can lines of completely different thicknesses be produced.

Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: starting the stroke, extending the stroke, and finishing the stroke. There is the "exposed edge" method of entering the brush strokes, which makes the beginning of the strokes pointed or square; there is the "hidden edge method" of entering the brush strokes against the front edge. When drawing horizontally, you want to draw right first, and when drawing vertically, you want to go down first, so that the edge of the brush is Hidden within the strokes, the beginnings of the strokes are basically circular. When writing, you must learn to "use the pen in the center" so that the tip of the pen always runs between dots and dashes. In order to make the strokes powerful, you must also learn to use the brush with a tight stroke, stay in the middle of the line, stay in the middle of the line, and avoid being flashy. There are "Lu Feng" (the pen tip is gradually lifted out of the paper, and the painting is pointed, such as a hanging needle, a pin, a stroke, a hook), and "Zang Feng" (the pen tip is withdrawn into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the strokes are tailed). rounded end). Also called structure or frame structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that when writing calligraphy, one must grasp the frame structure, and second, practice the characteristics of the strokes. The frame structure is more important than the stipple characteristics. If the characters are well spaced, the characteristics of the strokes are not outstanding and they are pleasing to the eye; the opposite is not true. Therefore, it is very important to carefully study and grasp the structure rules of characters. The so-called "beginner's distribution, but seek to be fair".

To learn to write, you should start with regular script or official script. After mastering various calligraphy styles, you will have the foundation to learn other calligraphy styles. Lin Tie is a necessary means to practice calligraphy well. If you don't post a post and just write it based on your own ideas, you won't get anywhere. Learning to write calligraphy requires perseverance and perseverance, and guarding against arrogance and impetuosity. It is often said: "As long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle." As long as you follow the rules of learning and persist in learning, you will definitely succeed in learning.
