On the stroke speed of calligraphy
Stroke speed refers to the stroke gesture made by calligraphers according to the needs of calligraphy writing, which is slow or slow, urgent or urgent, cool or astringent, and produces completely different pen and ink effects. Stroke speed is the most important and key technique in calligraphy art? The important components of brush strokes, together with the angle and depth of brush strokes, are collectively referred to as? Three elements of brushwork? . The three are closely related, interdependent and inseparable. Generally speaking, the stroke speed combines the pen tip angle and the pen tip depth to complete a book. The state of stroke speed, to a certain extent, affects and restricts the artistic effect of other elements of strokes, and even affects the artistic value of a book. However, when analyzing and studying brushwork, people often pay more attention to the angle and depth of the pen tip, rather than the speed of strokes, which has caused many calligraphy lovers, especially beginners, to despise and ignore the speed of strokes, thus affecting the improvement of calligraphy. Throughout the excellent calligraphy works at home and abroad, all calligraphers have endowed the calligraphy works with magical, meaningful, stirring and inspiring artistic charm through the accurate, ingenious, subtle, exquisite and spiritual grasp and control of the speed of writing and the perfect cooperation with other pen elements.
Generally speaking, brush calligraphy should focus on slow writing speed. This is not only determined by the aesthetic characteristics of the implicit, hazy and introverted art form of calligraphy, but also required by the special tools and materials used in calligraphy. However, in the process of calligraphy creation, it is difficult to achieve the effect that calligraphy art should achieve by blindly writing at a slow speed without necessary rhythm changes such as fast, sudden, blunt, astringent and curved. Then, more specifically, the writing speed of brush calligraphy is roughly as follows:
Slowing down this state is like white clouds in autumn, dripping stones, and there is great internal force in slow, slow, slow, slow. The outstanding impression and feeling given by slow writing speed is slow? Only when it is slow, the writer is required to have strong pen control ability. Otherwise, the lines in the book are often dry and lack of connotation. It is precisely because of the slow writing speed that the lines in the book appear calm, full, round, solid and healthy. The charm of calligraphy art lies in expressing the rhythm and beauty of scheduling with a quiet posture. Therefore, slow writing speed is the main popular writing speed in calligraphy learning and creation. When people watch calligraphers write books, they tend to look calm and look light, but in fact, they are always carrying capacity, while the works are like flowing water, not in a hurry or rashness (of course, this state of calligraphers is a superficial phenomenon under the surge of creative passion, which is beyond the scope of this article), which is almost unimaginable to ordinary people? Quick pen Pentium? Phenomenon. These experts know the speed of calligraphy, so calligraphy is naturally extraordinary and dazzling. Many calligraphy lovers do not fully understand the true meaning of calligraphy art, thinking that the faster the strokes, the more powerful the effect. Powerful? 、? Strong? When you lift a brush, you can write quickly without thinking, but it is a pleasure. The lines of the book are far from achieving the due artistic effect, and its books often give people the impression of impetuousness, paleness and unsound basic skills. Therefore, for many calligraphy lovers, especially beginners, slow writing speed is a basic skill, which must be mastered and controlled skillfully through repeated training and careful analysis. Generally speaking, the training and operation method of slow stroke speed is to keep a cool head, adhere to the principle of static braking and slow victory, and write a stroke and a picture in a down-to-earth manner.
Sharp. This state is like a runaway wild horse, the flood is rushing, roaring, surging and unstoppable; The sharp speed of writing gives people the feeling and impression that writing is quick, decisive, fast and neat. As mentioned above, slow stroke speed is the main form of brush calligraphy. However, on the premise that the overall trend of stroke speed is slow, there is actually a state of fast stroke speed: just, compared with the slow stroke speed, the fast stroke speed is in a secondary position. According to the calligrapher's mood fluctuation, the specific needs of the book content and the different writing materials, vigorous pen speed is often interspersed in the whole stroke process. Generally speaking, when the creative passion reaches its climax, the content of the book fluctuates greatly, and the pen is full of ink. It is easy for calligraphers to have a sharp pen speed, the lines of the calligraphy are exposed, and the flying white dry pens appear constantly, giving people a strong visual impact and a sharp and refreshing artistic appeal. It should be said that the sharp stroke speed is in a secondary and subordinate position in the whole stroke state and cannot be consistent. Beginners should pay special attention to the correct use of the sharp stroke speed. Generally speaking, the appearance of sharp stroke speed should be reduced as much as possible to avoid slippery and impetuous.
Stagnation This state is like climbing a mountain, sailing against the current, struggling forward and stumbling. Obviously, the speed of the pen is slow, and this book seems to be struggling to overcome the mountains and rivers that stand in the pen and move forward like a snail. The lines of the book are lofty, vigorous, old and dignified, and the ink color is dignified, occasionally leaving some traces of dry pen inadvertently. Although the frequency of appearance in a book is not very high, the speed of successful use of the pen is the easiest to express the art of calligraphy. Vivid? 、? Full of life? Effect. However, the use of slow pen speed in the book should not be excessive, let alone arbitrary, otherwise it will easily make the whole book appear? Is it broken? 、? Chaos? , appear lifeless, lifeless. Generally speaking, the speed of the whole work is mostly with pen? Breathe? No, that is, when the pen is running out of ink. Some people's hands tremble intentionally when writing, and the lines in the book seem to be very powerful. In fact, this is a kind of sick pen, which has a strong artificial taste, but it is not desirable. The correct way is to keep the central angle, increase the depth of the nib, push the nib out slowly and steadily, and collect the pen without stopping.
Dunk. This state is like a huge whirlpool. The dragon looks up and looks quiet and ready to recharge. Pen speed is characterized by a pause in the process of writing with a nib. This kind of line pen seems to stop, but actually it stops with the difference of pen tip depth and pen tip angle. Born? Subtle and profound changes are taking place. Meanwhile, although Dunham writes at a high speed? Stop? , but ready to go, will write a pen at any time. Therefore, Dun's pen speed, on the surface, is a pause, but in fact it is moving, and more action is brewing. Therefore, it is an indispensable condition for the speed of brush calligraphy and is widely used. Due to the improper use of pen speed, books are often prone to defects such as lack of connotation and lines without texture, and it is difficult to produce strong artistic effects and appeal. Generally speaking, the biggest feature of Dun's pen speed is to seek change in silence. However, the speed of writing is only a means to increase the thickness of lines and artistic appeal. So when you use the pen speed, you must be quiet and dynamic, and express the dynamic effect of calligraphy art through the static pen speed.
Fight for it. This state is like a fish jumping into the dragon gate, hungry for food, thrilling and sharp. The speed of the pen struggle is mainly manifested in the flying lines and broken pens, which makes people obviously feel the frank and decisive pen-using situation under the writer's nervous creative mentality. ? The speed of grabbing a pen is faster, fiercer, fiercer than that of strictly holding it, and it may even be disconnected. Watching a book writer write a book in a hurry gives people a feeling and impression of storms, lightning and thunder. Striving for the speed of strokes is mostly suitable for the creation of calligraphy such as cursive script and crazy grass. Of course, in other books, this writing speed also appears from time to time. Spelling speed often requires the writer to have a strong ability to control the brush, otherwise it will easily lead to the short board of pen and ink, giving people a feeling of impatience and poor basic control of pen and ink. Therefore, novices should be cautious and not casual. They can use it as a pen speed technique to study and learn, and then use it properly after improving the overall control ability of pen and ink when creating. Generally speaking, the speed of strokes requires the pen tip to be shallow, sometimes the pen tip is almost light on paper, and the angle of the pen tip is better than the center. Bend over. This state is like a cocoon, hibernating is a stiff snake, which can only be complete if it succumbs to the potential. Bending speed refers to the process of writing, in order to complete and perfect the whole book or the whole word, holding up the pen without hesitation or depression, without excitement or perseverance? Be careful, okay? Pen, in order to achieve artistic effect. The speed of folding pen is the most typical in the writing of folding painting. Because the folding stroke is a special stroke in China's calligraphy, it is easy to cause angular and serious extension because of the fast stroke speed; If it is too slow, it may cause excessive hypertrophy and imbalance. Therefore, when using the pen bending speed, the pen tip should be slightly lifted, pursed and slowly closed to produce better results. Of course, the pen bending speed is not only used in folding paintings, but also in other strokes, which can produce better results. The subtle, mellow and coherent artistic effect produced by the speed of bending the pen often adds great appeal to the whole work, which makes readers fall and marvel at it.
In a word, stroke speed is an important technical point in calligraphy learning and creation, and it needs constant study, exploration and practice to master it step by step. The above stroke speed can not be viewed mechanically in isolation, but must be linked with other calligraphy techniques, analyzed, studied and studied together, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the expected learning and creative purposes.
