How to practice calligraphy for beginners
1. First of all, you must have a strong desire to write well.
Einstein once said: "Interest is the best teacher." As long as you are interested in anything, half the battle will be won. Practicing writing is no exception. First of all, you must establish a concept. Write well, but I want to write well.
If you are not interested at the moment, you have to cultivate it slowly. If you think that writing has so many benefits, you will have the desire to practice it well.
2. Understand the basic common sense of learning hard-tipped calligraphy.
Before practicing writing, we need to understand some basic common sense:
1. Spare tools: ordinary white paper, pen, ballpoint pen, blue-black or carbon ink, etc.
2. Pen holding method: three-finger holding method, with the thumb and index finger holding the pen barrel tightly.
The middle finger rests on the bottom of the pen holder. The thumb, index finger and middle finger mainly hold the pen holder. The ring finger and little finger can gently rest on the bottom of the middle finger. The place where the three fingers hold the pen holder is about 1 inch away from the pen tip. inch distance, the pen barrel is at an angle of about 45 degrees from the paper.
3. Writing posture: Sit with your head upright, body straight, arms open, and feet secure.
3. The six words of "reading, copying, copying, memorizing, meaning and using" are the only way to learn calligraphy.
"Reading" means reading the post. What to read? The way to use the pen to read the words, the way to tie the words, the expression and the overall organization of the text, etc. When reading the post, you must grasp the characteristics of the post. The image characteristics of the word. Create a certain impression in your mind. You should read posts frequently, and take them out and read them frequently when you have nothing to do.
"Copy" refers to copying, which is to use transparent white paper to cover the copybook and follow the description, which is what we usually call red tracing.
"Lin" means to put the post aside and practice according to the writing method of the post while reading it. It is best not to look at each painting and write each painting, but to look at one word and write the entire word.
Hui Ren said: "It is easy to get the ancient people's writing style by copying the calligraphy, and it is easy to get the ancient people's position by copying the calligraphy. It is easy to advance by copying the calligraphy, and it is easy to forget the calligraphy by copying the calligraphy." Copying the calligraphy is the most important and commonly used method for learning calligraphy.
It can be said that learning calligraphy is to practice calligraphy. Generally speaking, no one can achieve success in calligraphy without practicing calligraphy.
You also need to compare the words you wrote on the post, that is, compare the words you wrote with the words on the post. Compare the shape of the words, the length, length, fatness, pen use, knotting and expression of the words. The difference lies in No, I hope I can improve it next time I write.
"Back" means to carry on the back. After a period of practicing writing, the words we learn to write will have some memories in our minds. We should try not to look at the copybook anymore and be able to write from behind. The calligraphy on the copybook is just as beautiful.
If there is a certain degree of difficulty at the beginning, it means that you don’t have enough time to memorize the post, and you need to continue to spend time on writing carefully until you can memorize it. Only by being able to face it can you be close to success.
"Yi" means the coming of thoughts, the process of re-creation.
When you can memorize it, integrate your own thoughts, understanding, taste, and personality into the book, re-create it, and finally go your own way and form your own calligraphy style characteristics, otherwise the imitation will not be the same again. They are also other people's things, and the ancients called them "book slaves".
“Use” means that after a period of study, we need to apply it in our daily life, study, and work.
If you have written a word through practice today, you will need to write it according to the practice writing method in homework, letter writing, and article writing tomorrow. It is necessary to completely get rid of the previous bad writing habits and write according to the new set of practice writing methods.
If we only practice writing according to the copybook and write according to our original writing method, we will never make progress.
4. Several situations about learning hard-tipped calligraphy.
1. Avoid being dissatisfied with new ideas and should have a single-minded goal.
It is a big taboo to do anything if you see different things and change your mind. Learning hard-tipped calligraphy is no exception. Many beginners learn calligraphy. Today they like "Two Kings", tomorrow they will meet Yan Zhenqing, and in a few days they will learn Mi Fu. , Su Dongpo... changed his mind when he saw something different.
Lack of specific goals is a taboo in studying books, and it is also the fundamental reason why many calligraphers often fail to make progress and learn nothing in the end.
Therefore, we must choose a book that we like, and write it conscientiously. After we have learned eighty or nine points, there is no harm in writing other books.
2. Avoid being "exposed to ten cold weather", it is important to persist.
Practicing calligraphy is like suffering from cold and fever. When you are not interested, you will practice for a while, and sometimes you will not write for ten and a half months. Such calligraphy practice of "three days of fishing, two days of drying the net" is definitely a good way to practice calligraphy. Not good.
The most important thing is to practice for an hour or two every day without interruption. If you sometimes travel on business, you can also bring the posts to read.
3. Correctly understand the “plateau phenomenon”. ?
The so-called plateau phenomenon is a phenomenon in which you feel you have made progress when you first start practicing calligraphy. After practicing for a period of time, you feel that you have not made progress, but that you have fallen behind compared to before.
Some people feel pessimistic and disappointed when encountering this phenomenon. They first feel sorry for themselves, and sometimes they simply change to another book, or stop practicing.
You must know that the reason for these phenomena is that your appreciation level has improved.
As the saying goes, "The eye is high but the hand is low". This is not a regression but a progress. The progress of the hands is not as fast as the progress of the eyes. In this case, the only way is to continue to intensify the practice to make the skills of the hands reach the level of the eyes. level of appreciation.
