Pen and paper:
The strokes of China's calligraphy are soft and smooth, so a brush is needed. The paper used for writing should have certain water absorption performance, and the commonly used Four Treasures of the Study paper or Xuan paper can be used. Keep the paper flat and clean, so as to better control the strokes when writing.
Posture and movement:
When writing, strokes should be natural and smooth, and the strength and speed of strokes should be properly mastered. It is necessary to maintain a certain sense of relaxation while ensuring the overall shape of writing, and avoid the stiff strokes caused by excessive tension.
When writing, we should pay attention to controlling the inclination and pressure changes of the pen to keep the strokes moist and coherent. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the rhythm and prosody changes of strokes, and the strokes are smooth, natural and coherent.
Writing skills:
1, light and shadow transition
The font of China's calligraphy requires soft and smooth strokes, so the use of light and shadow transition can make the strokes more soft and smooth. Light-shadow transition refers to the gradual change of brush strokes between adjacent parts with light ink, forming a bright and natural transition.
2. Ink clouds float
Another important way to write cursive script is that ink clouds float. Ink cloud floating refers to adding ink or water to dry strokes in the writing process to change their shapes and form an ink cloud effect.
3. Writing momentum:
An important aspect of water-based calligraphy is to emphasize momentum in writing and convey the painter's beliefs and ideas through emotional strokes. Through the expression of momentum, we can add profound artistic charm to calligraphy works and make people feel awe.
Pay attention to details when writing:
We should also pay attention to the expression of artistic conception in writing, and we can express themes such as classical poetry and natural spirituality through the fluency and softness of brushstrokes. In a word, water-based calligraphy is a poetic art form, which requires calligraphy lovers to pay attention to the fluency and momentum of brush strokes by means of ink floating, light and shadow transition and other techniques, thus creating a natural and flexible brush stroke style.
