What brush should a novice use?

Hello, I am a calligraphy lover and won the third prize in the national painting and calligraphy competition.

Let me answer your questions one by one:

I hope it will help you:

What kind of brush do you use, the big one or the small one?

Start using the compatibility of wolf hair and wool (double brush), don't choose too big, just thumb;

What is this ink for? Do you want to use an inkstone, the one with some ink?

Ink can be used in the cupboard, and it must be mixed with water, otherwise it will stagnate, which is unfavorable to the pen-making industry; Just use a small plate for inkstone, which is easy to wash every time you finish writing;

How good is the edge paper? How about edge paper with good ink absorption and smooth surface?

Wool paper will do. You can buy thin rice paper if you can, but the price is more expensive.

What copybook is better for beginners? You'd better introduce one.

Yan Zhenqing is recommended. I chose Liu Gongquan at first. Later, the teacher told me that it was difficult for Liu Ti to become a famous figure. Practice Liu's body later.

What do you mean, copy, read and paste? Is there a sequence of posting, copying and reading?

Pro is to write in contrast, and copying is to write in the shadow covered with paper.

Suggest copying before coming;

Ask me any questions at any time. I'm happy to communicate ~ ~ ~

I wish you an early calligrapher!

How do beginners choose a writing brush?

There are many kinds of brushes. Generally speaking, writing pens can be divided into three categories: soft pens, hard pens and gel pens. Soft pens, such as wool and chicken feathers. Hard pens include purple hair (rabbit hair), wolf hair, mouse hair and so on. Neutral (neither soft nor hard) pens are called "double brush", and there are two kinds: sheep purple and sheep wolf.

1. Brush type:

● Hard pen: vigorous and powerful pen. Such as: wolf hair, mountain horse, cow ear hair, moustache, mountain rabbit, deer brush.

● Soft brush: Soft brush. Such as: Yang Hao pen.

● Double-tube brush: both soft and hard, both rigid and soft. The brushwork is between rigid and soft. Such as: long flow, wishful thinking, suitable for beginners.

2. Brush selection:

A good brush should have four virtues: sharp, neat, round and healthy.

● Tip-When the pen is aggregated, the tip of the pen should be lit.

● Neat-pinch the nib with water to make the hair at the nib neat and tidy.

● Round-Around the belly of the pen holder, the pen holder is full, round and conical, not flat or thin.

● Health-the bristles are elastic, easy to fold after being scattered, and the brushwork should be healthy.

For beginners, if you use a hard brush from the beginning, it will be easier to pick up the pen without much skill, because the pen will help you a lot, but over time, you can only use the hard brush. Once you pick up the sheep's hair, you will feel unable to move. On the contrary, if you practice calligraphy with sheep hair when you are a beginner, although it is difficult at first, you must use the method of lifting the front to write qualified strokes, but you also learn the method of using soft pens. With the increase of practice time, you will gradually become handy and use it freely. At this time, if you pick up a hard brush to write, you will feel relaxed.

The ancients also had a lot of experience in the use of pens. I don't think it is easy to buy a good and expensive pen when I am a beginner, but I advocate using a bad pen, because if you can write good words with a bad pen, you will be more comfortable and write better with a good pen. On the contrary, if you start with a good pen, you will only use a good pen all your life. Once you encounter a poor pen, you will not be able to write well. Of course, you can't practice calligraphy with a rotten pen, which will make it more difficult for beginners. Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, recorded that "if you don't choose paper or pen, you will achieve your goal", which was praised by Yu Shinan of the same age.

In addition, from the economic point of view, the authentic wolf brush is very expensive, the good "big orchid bamboo" costs one or two hundred yuan, the ordinary sheep brush only costs two or three yuan, and a little better five or six yuan is enough. And because the pen is hard, easy to wear and tear, and the use time is not long, while the pen is soft and durable. It is economical for beginners to buy a wool pen.

Before buying a pen, you should also know the model of the brush. Brushes are divided into small letters, medium letters and large characters due to different styles, and the biggest ones are screen pens, couplet pens, bucket pens and planting pens. Because the name and brand of each pen factory are different, its size is also different. Beginners can buy a pen with a long front end, about four or five centimeters in length and about one centimeter in diameter. Such a brush can write in block letters 7 cm square. More suitable for people who have just learned calligraphy.

Learning calligraphy is a very good thing. 12 years old self-taught for more than ten years and benefited a lot. I hope you can pass on this hobby and wish you success in your study! Be sure to keep practicing, see more and practice more.

How to choose a writing brush? What kind of brush should a novice choose?

In fact, I just like calligraphy, including calligraphy. I will spare you my own brush selection method: first, look at the nib and get some saliva to get wet (because it is impossible to get all brushes wet when buying a brush), see if the nib is neat and choose a neat one; The middle part of the second brush should be round whether it is round or not; Third, look at the feel, you should choose something that is more comfortable to hold (mainly written by yourself), and calligraphers say it is better to choose something heavier; Fourth, look at the material. If beginners choose a brush, it is better to choose a brush that is harder than a brush, because we all write with a hard pen now, and learning with bristles can make us adapt faster.

How should beginners choose writing brushes?

When choosing a brush, you should first choose it according to its purpose.

When writing running script, couplets and leveling, you can choose wool pen and wool quilt, which are soft and tender and have a wide range of uses. Zihao and Langhao pens are hard and elastic, and the regular script is short and the painting is long. On the other hand, the double-stranded brush is both soft and hard, which can be used for writing and painting. The three numbers of the brush are divided according to the length and thickness of the brush head, and users should choose the model according to the size of calligraphy and painting.

The key to choosing a brush is to pick the tip of your hair. A good pen should be sharp, neat, round and healthy. The so-called sharp or sharp, refers to the pen tip and not bald; Qi means that the top hair is neat and even after the pen is flat; Round, refers to the pen * * * straight, conical, not flat or thin; Health means that the brush is elastic when writing, and the bristles are easy to fold after being unfolded, and it is easy to restore the original straightness after being bent. This is actually the "four virtues" often mentioned in Tiger Skin. Among them, roundness and health are the most rare. Draw a circle on your finger with a pen, and you won't feel tough and dull; After drawing the circle, the pen naturally converges into a pointed cone, and the more you use it, the more handy it is.

When choosing a pen container, it depends on whether the pen container is round and smooth, not flat, not cracked, not bent or inclined, and the length is moderate. If there is seal cutting on the pen, it depends on whether it is clear; If there is a mosaic, it depends on whether it is elegant and simple.

Finally, it depends on whether the pen and the pen are stuck together, and whether the pen is moldy or moth-eaten. Gently shake the pen with your hand to see if it is loose; Check whether the brush tip is moldy. You can smell it.

It is normal to have a layer of floating hair after writing, but it has not been removed after repairing the pen.

Characteristics of hair:

(1) Wool Wool: Made of goat hair, it is a popular product. Among them, wool has been stored for many years, and the oil is dry and easy to ink; Chen is a bit rigid; Smart sheep are thin and transparent tips; A clean sheep has no impurities and its wool is soft.

(2) Purple hair: It is made of black hair on the back of the mountain rabbit. The hair is relatively rigid, and it is suitable for writing running script and cursive script.

(3) Wolf hair: made of weasel tail hair, slightly less rigid than rabbit hair.

(4) Moustache pen: made of moustache, the strokes are pure, smooth and sharp, and the written fonts are both hard and soft.

(5) Chicken brush: made of chicken chest hair, which is quite soft and difficult for beginners to master, so it is not suitable for use.

(6) bristle pen: processed and steamed with bristles, used for writing large plaques.

(7) Double brush: Different animal hairs are mixed in different proportions. Writing can be both rigid and flexible. For example, purple hair is combined with wool, in which the more purple hair, the harder it is, and vice versa.

The habit of running in the center is basically developed.

Second, practice points, practice 20 points with different trends for 5 minutes every day, and stick to 15 days.

To practice calligraphy, first select 1-2 words you like from the font or calligraphy dictionary, look at the proportion, practice repeatedly, and then practice until it is exactly the same as the copybook, and then go through it from beginning to end.

Third, ask the teacher to personally demonstrate the poorly written words and carefully look at the strokes of every dot detail.

What do beginners need to learn brush calligraphy? What fonts do beginners practice?

I practiced calligraphy 14 years.

It was the first time I saw official script and fell in love with it. So I practiced official script first! Then I practiced regular script for a while, and then I went directly to the running script and practiced for a long time!

When I entered the university, I learned from an old professor in the college. He is an amateur, but he has a good reputation. Actually, there is nothing to talk about in writing. But when it comes to calligraphy, I don't think it matters. I just want to use calligraphy to express my thoughts. The words are like people, that is, I can see you from the words. ...

Don't pursue those flashy things.
