Ink is an indispensable tool in calligraphy creation and has an important influence on calligraphy.
First of all, the texture and color of ink directly affect the texture and visual effect of calligraphy works. The concentration, fluidity and drying speed of ink will all affect the thickness, shade and speed of strokes, thus affecting the overall style and emotional expression of works. For example, works with heavy colors give people a bold and enthusiastic feeling, while works with light colors give people an elegant and quiet feeling.
Secondly, the choice of ink will also affect the creative process and effect of calligraphy. Different inks have different textures and characteristics, and some inks are suitable for beginners because of their good fluidity and easy control. Some ink is suitable for senior calligraphers because of its delicate texture and rich layering and three-dimensional sense.
In addition, the use of ink also involves the skills and cultivation of calligraphy. Calligraphers need to master how to mix ink, how to control brush strokes, and how to use the change of ink color to express the emotion and artistic conception of works. All these can be mastered through long-term practice and research.
Generally speaking, ink has many influences on calligraphy. It not only affects the visual effect of works, but also affects the creative process and skills, and even affects the artistic accomplishment and emotional expression of calligraphers. Therefore, it is very important for calligraphy lovers to choose and use good ink.
