Is the writing on rice paper glossy or matte?

Both glossy and matte rice paper can be used, but there are some differences in characteristics. Generally, glossy rice paper with brush strokes is used, because there is a layer of oil wax on the surface of glossy rice paper, which can keep the works for a long time and have bright colors. The penetration effect of rough surface is better, you should work harder when writing, and the fonts you write are vigorous and powerful.

Beginners can choose a smooth surface when they start learning. The glossy surface, whose glossy surface is rice paper, is not easy to get dirty when writing, and it is smoother and neater. Practicing lowercase letters will be smoother and the details between strokes will be easier to grasp.

Calligraphers introduced for a long time are suitable for rough surfaces. Writing with a brush will have a sense of stagnation, and the copybook that needs to be written with greater strength will be more beautiful and natural, and the friction with the brush will be large, which will easily reflect the pen power and will be more obvious in the change of ink color.
