I want to practice writing brush calligraphy. What do you want to prepare?

Prepare calligraphy stationery is: pen, ink, paper, inkstone, paper cutter, paperweight, water bowl.

1, pen

1. 1, the standard brush is sharp, neat, round and healthy;

A qualified brush has four standards: sharp, neat, round and healthy, which are collectively called the four virtues of a pen.

Pointing means that the pen tip should be sharp to write fine stippling and pen movement changes; When the fingerprint pen is spread out, it is even and tidy, ensuring the symmetry of strokes; Circle refers to the shape of the brush when it is full of ink, which feels round and full, reflecting the ink storage ability of the brush. When full of ink, the strokes are full and powerful, which can avoid improper flying white; Fingertips are elastic, allowing the pen to express itself freely.

1.2, brushes should be classified with bristles or double-stranded brushes.

Judging from the bristles, brushes can be roughly divided into three types: bristles, soft bristles and double-sided brushes.

Common bristles in the market are mostly made of ferret hair or rabbit hair, which are called "wolf hair" and "purple hair" respectively. The elasticity is enough, and the ink storage performance is slightly poor. You need to master the ink absorption before you can use it freely.

Soft hair is mostly made of wool, soft and round. High-quality soft ink has strong ink storage ability and rich expressive force; Inferior ones can be so bad that there is no lower limit.

Double double brush often takes soft hair as the core, and hard hair is long and covers it. The elasticity of hard wool and the advantages of soft wool in ink storage. High-quality double-sided brush takes its essence, and inferior double-sided brush takes its essence.

2. Ink?

No sediment residue, smooth writing, uniform ink color and fragrant smell; You can add alcohol when the pen is stuck.

Mo Ding and ink can be used. From the point of convenience, it is suggested to use ink when you start practicing.

The performance of good ink and poor ink is very different. The ink suitable for normal use should at least have no sediment residue, smooth writing, uniform ink color and fragrant smell (this is a necessary item, and smelly ink usually means that it has deteriorated and corrupt colonies have accumulated, which is harmful to the writing brush after long-term use).

3、? Paper publicity

From the production process, there are two kinds of Xuan paper, one is called Sheng Xuan paper, which has strong water absorption and can melt ink without alum treatment; One is called cooked Xuan, which is made of alum. It is hard and relatively difficult to melt.

Generally speaking, writing is written by students. Every detail of brushwork will be multiplied by the propaganda that is good at melting ink. Every hesitation, cowardice, frustration, partiality and perfunctory will be revealed on this paper. Therefore, the shortcomings of the writer's pen handling process can be clearly exposed. Novices may not be able to handle the details. If ordinary paper is used, they may not see the shortcomings in the process of writing with a pen, and over time they will form bad habits.

Similarly, formal works should also be created with rice paper, which can form the artistic effect of "leakage mark" ink color.

From the classification of raw materials, Xuan paper is also divided into "clean skin" with sandalwood skin as the main raw material of pulp (what modern people call "extra clean" is also a kind of hype) and "cotton material" with straw as the main raw material. From the writing point of view, there is not much difference between the two performances. Which one to choose depends on the calligrapher you copy. Calligraphers' handwriting is usually angular, straight and tough, suitable for clean skin to express; On the contrary, cotton is more suitable.

Beginners should stick to the practice of Xuan paper. When they can adapt to the characteristics of Xuan paper and control it freely, they can use meta paper, coarse paper and other similar papers to practice at the same time, but they should still practice mainly on Xuan paper.

4、? inkstone

The main function of inkstone is to grind Mo Ding and painted pictures. Traditionally, inkstones made of hard and smooth stones are better. More demanding is to be smooth and delicate, without losing water. It is said that good ink is matched with good grinding, and the ground ink is particularly smooth.

If you use ink, you can buy a soy sauce plate or a water bowl instead of an inkstone. The water bowl can hold pens, ink and water.

Step 5 paperweight

Paperweight, an object used to press paper when learning Chinese characters and painting. Generally appear in pairs and are rectangular.

Introduction Skills of Brush Calligraphy —— Introduction to Writing

In fact, there is no definite method for writing with a brush, just "pointing to the palm of your hand", that is, the fingertips forcibly control the pen tube, and the palm is empty. Flexible practice pens have their own advantages and disadvantages, so you should choose according to your personal habits.

"Five-character writing" has been widely used. The five-character writing method is to summarize the functions of the five fingers with the words "one", "pledge", "hook", "case" and "ground". It emphasizes that the five fingers perform their duties, cooperate with each other, write smoothly, and make the pen move flexibly up and down, left and right.

Five-finger writing essentials: pointing to reality, palm deficiency, palm vertical, wrist flat and straight. Refers to the reality, that is, the fingers should have the power to hold the pen tube, the outer four fingers should be close together, and the joints should be outward, dense but not loose. Special attention should be paid to make the middle joint of the medial thumb protrude outward, make the tiger's mouth round like a stirrup, and make the five fingers work together, which is not only solid and powerful, but also helpful for writing.

Keep the pen elastic and moderate. Too tight, not working properly; It's too loose to work. Only by pointing to reality can we achieve "no weakness, no ink overflow, concentrated attention and stable writing." Palm deficiency means that when writing, the palm should be empty, the fingers should not be bent, and the ring finger and little finger should not be attached to the palm, as if holding an egg in your hand. The gap between thumb and forefinger should be wider.

The following is the writing step diagram:

1, naturally extend your palm and thumb up.

2. The ring finger and little finger are slightly bent, and the palm remains flat.

3. Put the brush between the middle finger and the ring finger.

4. Press your thumb between your middle finger and forefinger, preferably upward.

In this way, the pen can be steady and flexible. The purpose of palm deficiency is to relax the muscles and bones of the palm, otherwise the fingers and wrists will be stiff and tense, which is not conducive to writing. The palm is upright, that is, the palm should be as upright as possible when writing. Only when the palm is upright can it be straight, and only when it is straight can it be straight. The front line is regular, full of potential and running freely. Otherwise, the pen tube will be skewed, the strokes will be skewed, and the strokes will easily become skewed. Wrist level means that the wrist should be parallel to the desktop.
