How to Practice Soft Pen Calligraphy

Practice of soft pen calligraphy;

1 First, prepare a suitable pen. Generally speaking, the double-stranded brush is the most common brush, and there are various types of brushes. It is particularly important to choose a brush that suits you. According to the size of the written words, it can be divided into small pen, medium pen and large pen. According to the hardness of the pen, it can also be divided into wolf brush and sheep brush. Ancient calligraphers often made their own writing brushes. With the development of the times, it is not difficult for us to choose a good pen.

2, to study ink, especially writing important works or fine print, is much worse than ink, and the veteran will definitely agree. As for daily exercise, it doesn't matter, as long as it is convenient. The ready-made ink is heavy in colloid and light in grinding, so the grinding ink is smoother and richer in particles and layers. Especially the old ink of more than 30 years, it is very easy to use and addictive once. Good ink must be matched with good ink stone and paper to play effectively and endlessly, but in order to make the work better, everything is worth it.

3. There is a cloud in Sun's Book Score: paper and ink are in harmony. This is an eternal motto, but it is not false. It takes a lot of time to grind ink, but there are two methods used by professional calligraphers: buying an electric ink grinder, but most products on the market are not suitable, and there is still room for improvement. Ready-made ink mixed with half of water, and then developed with an ink stick, the effect is good. Don't believe the saying that some calligraphers don't choose pen and ink. There may be less than ten calligraphers with this ability in history.

4. Both sides of the edge paper for practicing calligraphy can be used. One view is that the matte surface of edge paper should be used, which is called matte surface. The reason is that the rough side of edge paper will penetrate ink more easily, and the smooth ink penetration effect will be far less than that of the rough side. In addition, when writing, there is a feeling of struggle between paper and pen, especially when lifting and pressing. In other words, the friction between the rough side and the brush is greater, and it is easier to reflect the pen power.
