Qinyuan Chunxue's beautiful pen calligraphy works appreciate the characteristics of hard pen calligraphy, mainly compared with brush calligraphy. First, because the material of the hard pen tip is relatively hard, its line changes are not as soft as those of the soft pen-the brush changes greatly; Second, because the commonly used hard pens are mainly pens, ballpoint pens and pencils. The lines are much more delicate than the brush, so the font is much smaller, even smaller than the fine print of the brush; Third, due to the material of the pen, the hard pen is easier to control than the brush.
Qinyuan Chunxue's classic pen calligraphy pictures are based on running script and draw lessons from some cursive writing methods to meet the needs of daily work, study and life. Mainly pens, including ballpoint pens and pencils. Practical hard pen calligraphy mainly emphasizes practicality, but it emphasizes artistry. Practical hard-pen calligraphy can be written easily and recognized easily. The key is to write quickly and regularly. Running script is easy to write and can be written quickly, and the standard running script is easy to identify. Therefore, practical hard-pen calligraphy is mainly based on running script.
Regarding the practice of hard pen calligraphy, here is a brief discussion on whether it is necessary to practice regular script first. In fact, there are similarities between regular script and running script, but there are also great differences. Regular script has the writing standard of regular script, and running script has the writing standard of running script, and the two cannot be confused. We can't think that writing regular script quickly is running script, and writing running script quickly becomes cursive script.
People often compare regular script to standing and running script to walking. Natural cursive is running, learn to stand first, and then learn to walk. There is some truth in this statement, and it also emphasizes the necessity of practicing the basic skills of writing. But people ignore that this basic skill has two meanings: one is the ability to control strokes, and the other is the ability to understand various calligraphy styles and grasp the characteristics of strokes. Therefore, under the condition of mastering the basic strokes of Chinese characters, we can practice running script directly for practical writing. Because when practicing running script, you can also train your pen control ability. Because the standard of regular script and running script is different, we often see some people who write neatly, but they are confused when writing running script. Can we write quickly? Ghost painting? Yes, this is because it is not written according to the specifications of different styles. This is why many calligraphers in history are good at regular script, running script and cursive script.
