I have been studying calligraphy for more than 2 years and have written many works, large and small, but I always feel that my basic skills are not very solid. By chance, I was curious to see a beginner drawing mosquito-repellent incense. Why draw mosquito-repellent incense? How does this help calligraphy learning? With questions, I, a calligraphy enthusiast, quickly picked up the written test.
I don't know until I try. I tried it and was shocked. The seemingly simple mosquito-repellent incense turned out to be so difficult to draw. Start using a pen, turn the nib and draw a circle. Regardless of whether the circle is round or not. Each nib is not round, but has square corners and uneven lines. Obviously, my basic skills are not solid.
So, I quickly asked the teacher and learned the general method of "painting mosquito-repellent incense":
1. Start from the center of the paper and start writing against the front.
2. Write to the right and circle slowly.
3. The mosquito-repellent incense is getting bigger and bigger until the paper can't be drawn. Stop writing slowly.
This seemingly simple method has several points to pay attention to:
1, when the brush can't continue to walk according to the shape we want, we have to lift the pen slightly and fall back on the paper. This is just a small gesture to adjust the brush, but this action should be hidden so that it won't appear abrupt when drawing lines.
2. In the process of drawing a circle, you can cooperate with repeated actions by gently twisting the pen tube with your fingers.
3. Pay attention to the thickness of writing and the distance between lines. My painting is not very good. I need more practice. )
4. If the brush is almost out of ink in the middle of painting, then slow down the painting speed to ensure the wettability of the lines until the ink can't be printed. In order to avoid dryness, you must dip in ink again and continue painting. Of course, the fewer pauses the better.
It is true that practice makes perfect, but the most common action hides the question from the university. When we usually write, when the stroke direction of the font changes, in order to keep the center pen, "painting mosquito-repellent incense" is a good training method, because the pen tip needs to change direction constantly when drawing a circle.
Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. No matter how much you see, you'd better try it at once. Calligraphy should be practiced and pondered. Although I don't want to be famous and have a family, I should at least write comfortably.
