2. First of all, it depends on whether the calligraphy paper is raw, cooked or semi-cooked. Shengxuan has good water absorption, and the ink will leak when touched, so it is less mixed with water. Cooked rice paper has weak water absorption capacity, so it can be watered properly. The water absorption capacity of semi-cooked rice paper is between the first two.
3. Secondly, look at what words are written, and generally write regular script, official script and seal script. Changing water also needs to be reduced appropriately, if it is running script or cursive script. It would be nice to change it a little more appropriately.
4. According to the writing effect, the proportion of thick, light, burnt, dry and wet is different. You should show the Gu Zhuo in the turn, heavy. It is difficult to use a pen, no oil, less water. If you want to show that cursive script is light and smooth, you can add more water; If you want to do more, you can add less water.
Finally, in the process of ink mixing, you can use a piece of waste paper and try to write while mixing ink. Can achieve non-stagnation, smooth writing, ink luster. Too much water usually writes smoothly, but the ink is dim and the words are not good-looking.
Of course, in the process of calligraphy creation, we can't treat each ink method in isolation. On the contrary, an excellent work of calligraphy art should use several different ink methods at the same time. In addition, the method of dipping ink is also the key to produce rich color changes of ink. Practice tells us that in general, when dipping in ink, it is not appropriate to immerse it completely and deeply. Deep immersion is not only ineffective, but also writing on paper (especially rice paper) is extremely bloated and clumsy.
6. Therefore, Zhou Xinglian said in "My Opinion on Linchi": "There is also a way to be impregnated. When writing a book, be sure to open the pen and put it in the inkstone, such as some water, so that when the ink enters from the nib, the pen will be full and full, and it will splash down, so that the ink will condense when it comes out from the nib. " In addition, water use and ink selection are also the key to the application of ink method. In the copying and creation of calligraphy, only through practice, observation, thinking and understanding can we master the rules of using ink skillfully and form our own unique ink consciousness.
