In calligraphy, the structure of each word has its own unique characteristics and laws, which need to be carefully studied and mastered. Reasonable arrangement of the structure can make the proportion of calligraphy works coordinated, symmetrical and beautiful.
3. Ink color: Ink color is the color expression of calligraphy works, which expresses the charm and emotion of calligraphy through the change of ink color and dryness and wetness. In calligraphy, the use of ink color is very important and needs to be adjusted according to the size of words and the thickness of strokes. The rich expression of ink color can make calligraphy works distinct and lively.
