Pen is the first basic element to express pen calligraphy. According to our knowledge of pens, we know that there are many types and models of pens. The difference mainly lies in the material of the nib. According to the characteristics of the material, it can be divided into three types: gold pen, iridium pen and ordinary pen. Everyone's pen calligraphy is different, so the pen he chooses will be different.
Tips for choosing a pen: When choosing a pen, you should see whether the two pieces of the pen tip are even and symmetrical, whether the top is smooth and whether the writing is smooth. When you try to write with a pen, you can write the words "forever" and "8" many times. If the pen tip does not scrape paper, the water comes out evenly, and the writing is smooth and smooth, then the pen tip meets the use requirements.
Refined ink
The ink commonly used in pen calligraphy is mainly carbon ink and blue ink, and the best choice is carbon ink. Pen calligraphy on white paper has a distinct effect because of its density and luster. Pens should use the same color and brand of ink, and cannot be mixed. If mixed, it is easy to produce chemical changes, which will affect the service life of pens and the effect of pen calligraphy.
paper
Pen calligraphy is a kind of calligraphy that requires a lot of paper. So the paper we want to choose must be 60-80 grams of writing paper, glossy paper, non-slippery, slightly astringent and strong ink-absorbing copy paper. If it is a primary practice stage, it is recommended to choose paper with squares printed on it.
