There are many kinds of writing brushes. Learn how to choose the one that suits you for the first time.

Brush brush is one of the important tools for us to learn calligraphy. A brush that suits us will add color to our calligraphy, but a brush that doesn't suit us will bring us unpleasant feelings. For Xiao Bai, who is learning calligraphy for the first time, how to choose a brush that suits him?

Brush material

Brush strokes are divided into wolf hair, wool, double-stranded brush hair and rabbit hair. Of course, each stroke has different characteristics. Wolf's hair is hard, sheep's hair and rabbit's hair are soft. In contrast, the brush strokes of doubled both brush have moderate hardness, which is very suitable for beginners. Bian Xiao thinks that double brush, that is, 30% wolf and 70% sheep, is more suitable for beginners. Bian Xiao used to use this kind of double-barrel brush when he studied calligraphy. When writing, the strokes are well controlled, and the written words look soft in steel and firm in softness. At the same time, the mood of writing is also very pleasant.

Brush quality

Many merchants in the market say that their brushes are very good. It is not difficult for a careful person to find a good quality brush. The hair of the pen tip looks very delicate and even, and the work is very hard. It gives people a natural feeling when holding a pen. Of course, you need to pay attention to the size of the brush here, and you can choose the font according to your own learning of calligraphy.

The price of writing brush

Although the higher the price, the better the quality of the brush, but not necessarily suitable for themselves. But the brush that suits you really depends on your financial strength. Bian Xiao bought a pair of brushes in 20 yuan at that time. Personally, I think it's the first time to learn to use it, so I can buy a cheaper one to try, and then buy it if it's not easy to write.

Face value of brush

If you use a beautiful brush, the words you write will be very emotional. If it is a brush with bad value, Bian Xiao finds it hard to see it. Of course, not everyone feels this way.

In fact, a brush that suits you is inseparable from good maintenance. For example, the first time you use a writing brush, it is also very important to start the pen. You should twist the nib back and forth with cold water. Of course, every time you use the brush, you must clean it and hang it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.
