Running script is a writing style between regular script and cursive script. Writing is more unrestrained and fluent, close to cursive. The writing is relatively correct and stable, close to regular script.
In the process of writing, the rotation of the brush (hard pen calligraphy is the tip) is more obvious in various forms of stippling. This movement of the brush often leaves a trace of hairspring between dots and pictures and between words, which is matchmaking.
Running script is the quick writing of regular script, and it is the stream of regular script. Through the analysis of several groups of words in regular script and running script, we will find that when writing regular script and running script, the writing method of stippling is the same as that when using a pen, but the running script is more stretched and smooth.
The arrangement of regular script structure is only an intermediate stage. It evolved from official script. If regular script is flat and even, then dennis gabor's brushwork is official script. Simple writing is running script, simple writing is cursing, and now it is grass. If we start with official script, it is difficult to master the brushwork of regular script, because the brushwork of regular script is richer and more complicated than official script. It can be seen that practicing the basic skills of regular script can be used as the basis for practicing calligraphy and writing various styles.
With the basic skills of regular script, I have mastered the structure and brushwork of regular script, and then I will write regular script, official script, running script and cursive script. Even seal script can get twice the result with half the effort. Regular script permeates human running script and cursive brushwork, which can increase agility, such as some regular script inscriptions in Zhao Mengfu.
The best way to practice running script is to paste it. Actually, anything can be pasted. You can choose tablets according to your own preferences, such as Yan, Ou, Liu and Zhao, but try to buy better quality copybooks when buying tablet stickers.
Running script pen has the following characteristics:
[1] stippling is mostly written by exposing the front to paper;
[2] Replace flatness with side surface;
[3] Replace complex stippling with simple strokes;
[4] Strengthen the echo of stippling by hooking, picking and tying;
[5] replace the square fold with a round turn;
Structural characteristics of running scripts:
Big and small. That is, each word presents a different size, and there is a pen-to-pen connection of a word. The connection between words is both true and intentional, and there is a connection between them.
The combination of recovery and release. Generally short-term collection, long-term release; Back and front, side and front; Most of them are left hand, right hand, upper right hand and lower left hand, but they can also be converted to each other. Left-handed and right-handed, top-handed and bottom-handed are not excluded.
Dense and decent. Generally, it is dense on the top and sparse on the bottom, dense on the left and sparse on the right, and dense on the inside and sparse on the outside. The middle palace is compact, the white space in the box is as small as possible, and the white space of the circled strokes is as small as possible. On the layout, the word spacing is tight, the line spacing is wide, vigorous and powerful, and the colors are bright.
Light and shade blend together. Running script writing should be easy, lively and fast, and master the combination of illness and stagnation, movement and static. The ink color arrangement should be strong at the beginning and dry at the end. The lines are long and thin, short and thick, moderate in thickness and alternating in depth. It's similar to cursive, but it's not so grassy.
Requirements for creating a running script:
First of all, we must understand the requirements of appreciation or creation. A good calligraphy work has three criteria, namely, mastering principles and methods, vigorous brushwork and graceful posture. The ancients said, "Innovation lies in tradition, and the beauty lies in statutes." "Charm is the best, followed by form and quality." A good calligraphy work strives to achieve the beauty of lines, structure, composition, pen and ink and charm.
Secondly, we should copy carefully, learn to use the pen correctly and dare to break through. Copying should choose the wonderful traces of celebrities, and experience the ancient people's mind, rhythm and charm from reading the inscriptions. Get it from your heart and give it to your hand. The main post should be read and presented repeatedly, mainly to solve the problems of brushwork, pen use and structure. Inheritance is the important foundation of innovation, and innovation is the necessary development of inheritance. From "going in" to "coming out", from modeling to spirit, a distinctive personal style is formed. The so-called "picking flowers to make honey".
Thirdly, it should be fully brewed before creation. On the one hand, reference is more important to have a clear understanding of the theme, genre and expression. We should seriously consider the structure of each word and try not to have similar words or strokes; Careful arrangement of the composition can make a sample draft in advance, but you can't be bound by it when writing; Pay attention to rhythm and strength in writing. What predecessors said, "vigorous in graceful and restrained, vigorous in graceful and restrained" is the concrete embodiment of writing method.
(1) scattered size: due to "indulgence", the height, width and area of running script characters are different, even very different. Therefore, the running script adopts the composition of "vertical lines and horizontal columns". Because the number of words in a line is not fixed, it is allowed to write very long; Because there is a certain extension space in the horizontal direction, writing is allowed to be very wide. In this way, the running script has a relatively free creative space in the font structure.
(2) Adjust the weight: "Balance" is an important factor in the beauty of plastic arts, and to achieve balance, we must learn to adjust the weight.
(3) Swing from side to side: Chinese characters swing from side to side, which not only shows the spirit of the characters, but also can be easily inserted between words, effectively adjusting the weight. So "swinging from side to side" has become a common way to run scripts.
(4) Top-down infiltration: In the layout of running script, the infiltration of qi is the most important skill.
(5) Strive for harmony: The above four points are the specific methods of running script layout, and "harmony" is the all-day requirement of layout. No matter the size of the space or the number of words, it is a unity. Harmony mainly includes the following points: brushwork harmony, blank space harmony, style harmony and font harmony.
