As I said before, I will update a series of articles on how to practice hard pen calligraphy from time to time here, hoping that friends who like hard pen calligraphy can get some inspiration from it.
The last article, "How to practice a beautiful hard pen: How to write various stippling", introduced various writing methods of stippling. Friends who don't know how to write stippling can go and have a look.
As can be seen from the last two articles, many friends are enthusiastic about practicing hard pen writing. Everyone left a message praising that the article was practical, which was one of the motivations for me to continue to write more. I hope to exchange and learn with you, practice calligraphy well and carry forward our traditional culture.
Okay, let's get down to business.
Horizontal painting is also the most common in strokes, and many Chinese characters are composed of horizontal painting. Horizontal painting is like the beam of a house, which can be used as both its facade and its support point. Its importance is self-evident.
Now, let me introduce the writing methods of various horizontal paintings.
Horizontal painting mainly includes short horizontal, middle horizontal and long horizontal. When writing these three horizontal lines, we should pay special attention to their length, thickness and inclination.
1, short horizontal line
Write directly along the front (sharp point) and then write slowly. Write decisively, don't hesitate too much. Finally, stop writing (stop writing) and collect the pen. Remember that the short horizontal pen should not be too heavy. The short horizontal pen is in an upward state, and the whole state is slightly lower left and higher right.
Don't write short horizontal strokes too obliquely or too long. Pay attention to the thickness change of strokes, from light to heavy.
2. Zhongheng
Start with a pen, then stroke slowly and finally close the pen. The thickness of the whole stroke does not change much, and the left is low and the right is high. Be careful not to write the middle horizontal line too short or too long, otherwise it is no different from the short horizontal line and the long horizontal line.
3, long horizontal
Start with a pen, then write slowly, and finally close the pen with a low left and a high right. When writing long horizontal lines, pay attention to the thin middle and thick ends, but don't exaggerate, and don't write too short or have no change in thickness.
Long horizontal is often the main pen of a word, which plays a role in stretching, supporting and balancing the word, and can best reflect the spiritual outlook of a word, so we must practice horizontal painting well.
In horizontal painting, we should pay special attention to it. If there are multiple horizontal paintings in a word, we should pay attention to changes and avoid similarities. If a word has more than two horizontal paintings, and there are no strokes such as dots, strokes and strokes between the horizontal paintings, then the spacing between the horizontal paintings should be basically equal, otherwise the whole word will look unbalanced and unharmonious.
The length change of horizontal painting in a word is mainly determined by its position in the word. Generally, the first horizontal painting will be shorter, the second horizontal painting will be shorter and the last horizontal painting will be the longest.
Such as "three", "king", "jade" and "life"
When practicing calligraphy, we must pay more attention to observation and thinking, pay attention to the quality of practice, then strengthen quantitative practice and gradually find the law. Naturally, you will be more handy when practicing. Come on! ?
