First, use pen and paper.
First of all, you need to prepare brush, ink and rice paper. It is best to choose a wide-fingered pen or a hard pen, because running script needs to pay attention to the thickness change of strokes, in order to create a flowing writing feeling.
At the same time, choose suitable thickness of Xuan paper to ensure the quality of calligraphy. If you are just beginning to learn running script, you can choose some cheap brushes, ink and draft paper, because the process of running script requires a lot of practice and try.
Second, the preparatory work
Before we formally start writing, we need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Pay attention to standing posture and hand posture, keep comfortable, and avoid physical fatigue and hand stiffness.
2. Adjust the state of the brush and ink. Ink needs to adjust the ratio of water to ink. If the ink is too thick, it is easy to cause unclear description or heavy ink; On the other hand, if the ink is too thin, the writing effect will be poor. Therefore, it needs to be adjusted according to personal preferences and needs.
3. Draw a grid on paper: If you are just learning running script, you can draw a grid on rice paper to help you write the size, thickness and spacing of fonts.
Third, the writing process.
1, Step 1: Write the word "Tian" to reward diligence. First insert the brush into the ink, then draw from top to bottom, leaving a certain gap, and then press the brush from the top right. With the change of strength, the strokes on the left are from coarse to fine, and the strokes on the right are small and delicate. Finally, the pen should be collected naturally and smoothly, creating a misty feeling.
2. Step 2: Write the word "Tao" that rewards diligence in heaven. The writing of Daozi is a little more complicated than Tian Zi. Draw a horizontal line from above, then draw a vertical line from below, and then draw a horizontal line with similar shape. Finally, draw horizontal and vertical lines on the left side in a way similar to Tian Zi's, and pay attention to the size and stroke thickness. The whole process requires patience and practice.
3. The third step: Heaven rewards diligence and writes the word "reward". Similarly, draw a stroke from top to bottom, leaving a certain gap, then press the brush from the upper right down, and the stroke on the left will flow naturally when you close the pen. The word "reward" is shorter than the word "day"
4. Step 4: Write down the word "diligence" that rewards diligence in heaven. Draw the "bug" on the left first, start from the top, then leave a certain gap, and then press the brush from the top right to draw the right side from coarse to fine.
