To learn Chinese painting, do you need to practice calligraphy first? What kind of body is good for you?

To learn Chinese painting, you can start by copying some simple flower and plant paintings and proceed step by step. Slowly copying the more difficult ones. You can also draw and draw, which I personally prefer.

If you are practicing calligraphy, you can continue regular script. This is better for beginners. It is best to practice calligraphy while standing, so the effect of practice will be better.
