What size paper is suitable for practicing calligraphy?

The size of the paper is very important when practicing calligraphy. Generally speaking, beginners can choose to practice on A4 or A5 paper. These two kinds of paper are moderate in size, which will not cause writing difficulties, and too small will not affect the display of handwriting.

A4 paper size is 2 10mmx297mm, and A5 paper size is 148mmx2 10mm. These two kinds of paper are common paper specifications in our daily life, which are convenient to buy and use.

For beginners, choosing A4 or A5 paper for practice has the following advantages:

1. Easy to control: A4 and A5 paper sizes are moderate, and beginners can better grasp the strength and speed of strokes, thus better controlling fonts.

2. Easy to carry: A4 and A5 papers are relatively small, easy to carry and store, and can be easily practiced at home or out.

3. Save resources: A4 and A5 papers have lower cost and are more economical than large sheets of rice paper or coarse paper.

4. Suitable for all kinds of fonts: whether it is regular script, running script, cursive script or official script, you can practice on A4 or A5 paper. With the improvement of calligraphy, you can try to practice with bigger or smaller paper and challenge your skills. However, regardless of the size of the paper, the most important thing is to maintain the love and concentration of calligraphy and keep practicing and improving.
