The general feature of a good pen is that it is not easy to split when writing, and it can recover its shape to some extent after being pressed.
For beginners, it is recommended to choose a brush, such as "Sword * *". It is not necessarily that the wolf's brush is more elastic than the sheep's brush. It takes luck to buy a pen. At present, the quality of brushes in China is generally poor, but the price is not necessarily low. Many brushes are beautifully decorated and are for the nouveau riche. Professional calligraphy and painting shops can generally find satisfactory brushes. It is suggested that novices can buy 10~30 yuan. 1brushes below 0 yuan can't be made by heart.
You'd better read more books before choosing copybooks. Finding your favorite calligraphy is conducive to maintaining your interest for a long time.
Learn the regular script after the Tang Dynasty honestly, and ignore the official script, Weibei and Xiaozhuan, which are all eliminated regular scripts. The fundamental reasons for being eliminated are immature development and "the articles of association are not rigorous". The so-called statutes are the norms of pen and font.
The details of fonts will change with the times, but the brushwork summarized after the Song Dynasty, especially the regular script brushwork, is the most perfect. Learning standard regular script at first plays a great role in the later progress.
The so-called "homology of painting and calligraphy" means that the brushwork of Chinese painting is included in the brushwork of calligraphy. Practicing the brushwork control of calligraphy is to lay the foundation for brush painting. People who have a basic knowledge of western painting but don't know calligraphy can also draw bluff works of art with brush strokes, but no matter how attractive such works are at first glance, they will not be regarded as Chinese paintings by experts. As long as you look at the brushwork with a magnifying glass, you will know that the brushwork of such works is piled up under the magnifying glass.
Among the famous painters and calligraphers in history, Su Like Dongpo is also famous for his character, knowledge, calligraphy and fine arts. It is all that calligraphy is out of control and painting is disorganized, claiming that painting is "literati painting". This kind of painting and calligraphy is best not as a model, but as a reference for graduate students.
It is suggested to start with the brushwork of Yan style and Liu style, aiming at writing a stiff feeling. Never learn flat-width fonts, you can't practice the control ability of long vertical painting. The control ability of long vertical painting basically represents a person's "pen power"
In addition, the pen I used to write with is not a traditional brush, but a high-grade watercolor pen made in China, which is very cheap online. Very easy to use, considering that the technical requirements of cosmetic pens for women are definitely higher than ordinary writing brushes, I hope you can open your eyes after you have a foundation!
