I want to teach myself Ou Yangxun's calligraphy.
It is recommended to use a double-stranded Chinese character brush, which is moderate in hardness and convenient to use. You can ask the shopkeeper when you go to the store. It is best to use paper with rough edges, not too slippery or too sticky. Remember that the ink should not be too thick, but it is ok. Raw rice paper requires high ink, neither too thick nor too light. It is difficult for beginners to master the writing speed, and it is expensive and not suitable. Try Xuan paper again if you have a certain foundation. You can choose Jiuchenggong, Li Qiben and Mitsui as the best copybooks. "Yugong Gongbei" is also very appropriate.
