How can we effectively practice European calligraphy!

The style of writing in European style is mainly square, but when learning, we should not blindly cut off the starting and closing of each stroke, and excessively pursue the edges and corners, so we should pay attention to the combination of Fiona Fang. Using "rubbing pen" to deal with circles will achieve better results. "Rubbing the pen"-it's like doing a circular massage on the pain. Take the horizontal direction as an example. After gently collecting the pen, gently lift the brush, but do not leave the paper, make a circular motion in the backward and forward direction, and then take the pen back. Although the movement is small, it can show a round shape in the square.

1, a new European character, can observe the changes of stroke thickness, such as the thickness of horizontal and vertical ends, the weight in the middle and so on. But a closer look has changed a lot. For example, vertical hanging: one is that the two ends are heavy and the middle is light, which plays a pillar role in Chinese characters, such as the word "zhong"; There is also a kind of light stroke, fine stroke and heavy stroke, which are often used in many characters with long vertical lines, such as the left vertical line of the words "Jane" and "Guo", in order to strive for diversity. As the saying goes, "those who observe are fine, those who draw are expensive". Only by careful observation, attention to details and recording subtle changes can strokes come alive.

2. Some calligraphers, after writing a stroke, stop to look at it, write another stroke, "put" the painting on the paper, and lose the internal connection, which means they lose the gesture of using a pen. The so-called "potential" is the relationship between strokes in action. Only by understanding this relationship can the strokes be harmonious and unified, otherwise the strokes will become symbols, so the ancients said, "It is necessary to predict the situation, but it can be processed." Take the following two points of the word "qi" as an example. A point on the left refers to writing a point to the upper right, and another point on the right points to the lower left to write a word.

3. Next to the "Sanshui Point", the first point runs to the second point after receiving the pen, and the second point also runs to the third point, so the first two points are down, and the pen is also down, while the direction of the third point is the stroke on the right, so it tends to go up, and its front pen is also up. In addition, in horizontal painting, the pen with large inclination is heavier, and vice versa, and so on. Here, I won't list them one by one. Understand these, the pitch of strokes, the weight of strokes, the direction ahead, etc. Will not be blind, can be handled flexibly according to the specific situation. Gestures are closely related to rhythm and rhythm, and each stroke is fast and slow. For example, slow down when you start squatting, fast when you start writing, and slow down when you close your pen to protect your tail, but faster than when you start writing, because it is the end of one stroke and the beginning of the next, so the speed, weight and number of words are repeated. On the premise of using the correct pen, if each pen can echo coherently, the words will have vitality.

4, to be able to live, but also to be able to let go. It is true that the Chinese character "Ou" is tight in the palace, neat and rigorous, but it should also be "sparse". Pay attention to the arrangement of proportion when learning, dare to stretch, such as the sketch of the words "nine" and "success", try to let go, the contrast is strong, and you should not be timid. Every word is "dangerous". Never write European characters too flat or flat. Horizontal painting is rarely horizontal, and it is very inclined, but through other strokes, such as the word "Huai", it saves the day and strives for balance by the last long point. Break away from routine treatment and make it in the middle of the side, such as the first point of "palace" and the middle vertical of "thousand"; Should be staggered but aligned, such as "long" two vertical, etc. The seemingly smooth regular script, through the change of the structure of the word "danger", makes the European characters have various postures.

5, the actual situation should be appropriate. Some connecting places in European characters, such as boxes with the words "rain" and "door", should not be "welded" in the upper left corner or inside, so there should be gaps, just like doors and windows in a room, indicating ventilation and avoiding dullness.
