Calligraphy line training method

1. ? The center stroke isometric line.

First practicing lines, at least write the same thickness. This thickness, can reflect a person's basic pen control ability, seemingly simple, but every beginner must pass a pass. It should be noted that, in writing this line, not only to consider the thickness, but also to take care of the spatial distribution, and most importantly, the need for the center line. So practice, only effective.

2, ? Gradual change of thickness.

Traditional calligraphy brushes can be roughly categorized into one-pointed, two-pointed, three-pointed brushes, as well as finer sharp lines. With different fractions of the pen, the thickness of the lines written is naturally different. How can we grasp this variation? We can use a gradual change in thickness to focus on training. From thin to thick, from thick to thin, repeated practice, can naturally improve our pen sensitivity.

3. ? Lifting and pressing changes.

In the actual writing process, a line is also a change in thickness. To write such variations, we need to have the ability to control the brush with precision and naturalness.

4. ? Find the right point of force.

Why do other people write tough lines? Why do other people write in a comfortable rhythm? One of the keys is to grasp the point of force. The point of force is usually at the node where the brush starts or turns. Find the right position, prepare the power, set in a point to hit out, naturally can write power. In addition, there is a point of force, the rhythm is also natural.

5. ? Folding line exercise.

The above methods are all about training a single line. What about the folded line? We can likewise concentrate our firepower to strengthen the practice. For example, the following kind, can be very good to train our square fold processing ability. It should be noted that before completing this kind of training, we first need to figure out the strokes, and there is more than one stroke. To be honest, practicing folds is mostly about practicing node handling, and the method is important.

6. ? Round turn practice.

The handling of turns can be roughly categorized into square turns and round turns. How to write a good round turn? We can practice by drawing circles and in various shapes. This round turn ah, not only to consider the shape of the line, but also to write that kind of Thucydides toughness.

7. ? Control of the nib.

The last point, I want to talk to you about the control of the nib. Especially in the moment of the brush into the paper, we want to be able to feel the presence of the brush, at the same time, but also to write the momentum and power. This is true for entering the paper, and it is also true for closing the brush. In a way, this is mainly to train our pen control sensitivity.
