First of all, prepare a pen, which is the most critical in calligraphy. Novices recommend ribbed wool, which is harder than wool! You'd better find someone who understands and take you to buy it!
I have been writing calligraphy since I was 5 years old, and the feeling in recent years is that the latter three are really auxiliary!
Ink is of course the favorite! However, novices don't need such a big investment. I usually use cabinets to write works. I usually practice using 1 yuan a catty of ink, which is almost the same. Now that kind of ink can be used as long as it doesn't smell!
Paper practice calligraphy is not very demanding on paper, so don't use rice paper first, just ordinary tassel paper! He doesn't look like Chinese painting. He knows colors with rice paper! So it's okay! I practice with the newspaper now!
Inkstone hehe! This is simply a filling thing, as long as it can be filled with ink! I once filled an ashtray with ink as long as it was clean!
And copybooks. It is recommended to practice regular script, mainly Tang Jie. If you want to practice, you can recommend the "Twin Towers" monument in Yan Zhenqing. This is more popular and looks more geometric. If you want to practice your style, there will be more, such as Ou Yangxun's "Jiucheng Palace Brews Spring", Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower", Yan Zhenqing's "Yan Bei", Zhao Mengfu's regular script, and he was the first talented person in the Yuan Dynasty. number
You'd better prepare the felt, or the ink will invade the table and it won't be easy to wipe!
Beginners began to practice standing and writing, hanging their wrists to write bigger words, more than 5cm×5cm! This will show you the structure and shortcomings of the whole word!
Of course, it will be better if you have a better teacher to take you to learn the basics, so that you can master the essentials faster!
