How many ways to use ink in brush calligraphy?
1, the ancients said that ink is divided into five colors, that is, it is generally divided into thick ink, light ink, dry pen, swollen ink and thirsty pen.
2. Thick ink is a common method of using ink, which was commonly used by the ancients. Ink is like paint, written in black and white on white paper, which is extremely eye-catching, clear and full, and radiant.
3. Light ink is an intermediate color between black and white, with gray tone as the main color, giving people an elegant aesthetic feeling. Light ink is closely related to the skill of using water.
4. Ink rising refers to the phenomenon that too much ink on rice paper overflows beyond strokes. The beauty of rising ink lies in maintaining the basic form of lines while having hazy ink interest, so that lines and surfaces are integrated. If you write in Su Mo, the water is separated from the stippling, and the brushwork is clear, with bones and flesh, which will give you another taste.
5, thirsty pen refers to the effect of writing on paper after most of the water contained in the light ink in the pen is lost; Dry pen refers to the effect of writing on paper after most of the ink contained in thick ink is lost. The former is moist in the sky because of water, and the latter is old in the sky because of thick ink.
