First, the operation steps of hard pen calligraphy
Hard-pen calligraphy is a relatively simple way of writing, but it also requires certain operating skills. The following are the basic operation steps of hard pen calligraphy:
1. Prepare hard pen and paper, and choose the hard pen that suits you. Paper can be brush paper or rice paper.
2. Master the grip of the pen. The grip of a hard pen is different from that of a writing brush. Hard pen needs to hold the pen holder gently with your fingers and thumb, not too hard.
