Beginner calligraphy in European style, how to choose a brush for economic points?

Beginners can buy wolves and sheep or pure wolves, the size of the pen should be able to write in large letters, rather big than small. Writing small words with a large pen can appear full, but writing large words with a small pen can appear hoarse.

It is enough to have two pens for beginners, one is slightly larger and one is slightly smaller, and the pen is not too long, and the long one is not suitable for writing regular script. The brush I said above for practice is 10 yuan-15 yuan, and you must try it on the spot when you choose a brush, otherwise you don't buy it.

As for the life of the brush, it depends on how you use it, and if you write diligently, of course, the life is short. In my experience, under the premise of normal maintenance and correct use, writing for two hours a day should be enough for a pen to write for a year.

By the way, the brush must be dipped in water before every ink, and don't dip the dry brush directly in ink!! Otherwise the pen will be ruined. Rinse and dry naturally after each use. (Don't wear a cap).

The regular script is written with wolf hair. There is a calligraphy and painting shop, which is not very expensive, about ten yuan. Lifespan is based on your usage. Don't go to the stationery store to buy it, that's not very good.

Go buy a large Piaolan or crane neck **No more than 10 yuan If you exceed it, don't buy it You must have been fooled Life span As long as you wash it carefully after each writing I believe that one is enough Because if you write a big crane neck "bald" (except for the problem with the brush itself) Then you will no longer ask the basic knowledge of this kind of calligraphy.

Ou Kai is suitable for Zihao pen and pen, among which Zihao pen is the best, because most of the Ou Kai in the Tang Dynasty is now copied is written with Zihao pen. However, there are not many Zihao pens on the market now, and the quality is also uneven, plus the production process of modern Zihao pens, which is completely different from the Tang Dynasty.

If you can't find a better quality Zihao pen, then you can replace it with a Zihao pen with the same nature as the Zihao pen used in Ouyang Xun's period. The pen is a mixture of sheep hair and wolf hair, it is moderately soft and hard, not only has a strong elasticity, but also has a good softness.

Although the brush is the most important part of learning calligraphy, the same brush can produce very different results in the hands of different people. Only with continuous study and specialization, when the skill of calligraphy reaches a certain level, whether it is the selection of the pen or the selection of the post, it is no longer the primary problem that troubles.

In fact, there are many changes in the structure of the European body, and if you talk about skills, it is recommended to start with the face.

To learn European style calligraphy, you must have a brush, ink and calligraphy.

1. Brush. Can be used with pure wolf hair. The pure wolf is glutinous and soft, but the pen is sharp, and it is easy to write the edges and corners of the European body, but if it is not well mastered, the middle section of the hair painting will be soft and weak.

It can also be used with both the advantages of the hardness, good elasticity, easy to write the bone sense of Europe, but due to the addition of chemical fiber, the tip of the pen is easy to scatter, beginners, it is not easy to gather the front when closing the pen.

2. Ink. Nowadays, a large amount of gum is added to the ink, which causes the pen to lag, so a certain amount of water must be added to smooth the stroke. This will not happen if the ink is sharpened, but the ink grinding is time-consuming, and beginners are not recommended.

Therefore, try to buy better ink, such as Yidekaku, etc., but there are many fakes, so you need to be careful. The Xuanzong of the Japanese Ink Luck Hall is also good, but it is slightly higher, and the creation is available.

3. Copybook. Ouyang Xun has more inscriptions, "Jiucheng Palace" is suitable for beginners, "Huangfu's birthday" and "Yu Gonggong" are suitable for further pursuit of Jin and Tang Dynasty penmanship, "Huadu Temple" is Ouyang Xun's highest achievement of a post, but the fall is more serious, not suitable for beginners, and the style is close to ninety. In addition, there is "The Legend of the Orchid Pavilion", the strokes are slightly engraved, which can be learned later.

Features of the European body:

1) The European glyph is narrow and long, such as the waist of the left and right vertical paintings of the door word frame is closed inward, which is called the "inner pouting method", so that the glyph becomes narrow. Because the characters are narrow, the shadow of the characters appears to be long.

2) European characters are stable, such as Kun, Xia and other words are all written as narrow at the top and wide at the bottom or small at the top and large at the bottom. In this way, the center of gravity is stable, so the European characters are not square or rectangular, all of them are as stable as Mount Tai.

3) Most of the European characters are expanded to the right, such as high, de, yang and other words. Placing these characters in the rice grid makes it clear that the center of gravity of each character is shifted to the left of the center to give way to the right. At the same time, the horizontal drawing of these characters is more oblique to the upper right than the other characters.

A closer look at the vertical center lines of these characters shows that the left and right gestures and specific gravity of these characters can still be equal.

European style is a kind of regular script font created by Ouyang Xun, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. It is characterized by both square and round, mainly square, dot painting is strong, and the pen force is condensed. It is not only steep on the side, but also rigorous and neat.

The side remains stable, compact and sparse. It is known as the "first regular script in the world".

Zihao pen:

It is suitable for writing strong and square words, and it is valued by calligraphers. Sheep hair plus health brush: the pen force is relatively strong, easy to write strong and stable words.

And the pen. A brush made by mixing several fine hairs together is often called a kan hao pen.

1. Moderate elasticity, rigidity and softness, the pen is sharp for action changes such as lifting and turning, which is conducive to the performance of the pen with a large range;
