Brushes, difference between calligraphy and painting brush

[musicisartification]

i wish i could be taught by you.

[yanghaiying]

@TestedElk4 Experience and knowledge. If not yet acquired yet, buy expensive ones.

[yanghaiying]

@AudaciousGemini Everything can have quality product and cheap substitute. Can you let me know where you buy it and price level? I also bought some cheap paper and worked exactly as you described. Now I do not buy them any more. I use recycle paper for practice and good paper for work. The paper I use is called 宣纸， Chinese painting paper, Xuan paper.

[AudaciousGemini]

@yanghaiying thx!

[AudaciousGemini]

I have a question. What kind of paper do you use for calligraphy? I have this so called "calligraphy" paper (feels like tissue paper) that absorbs water. It's annoying! The paper wrinkles when I write on it with the ink made for calligraphy. I see the paper you have doesn't absorb water or the ink so that it wrinkles.  Can you tell me the name or is it regular printer paper?

When I dip my brush in colored fluid, the color stays there. Is it a bad brush? Could I still make good calligraphy?

I love how you interpret your emotions with brushes, it shows how well and how much spirit you have for painting.

Thanks for all your Knowledges  : )

I love your videos.

my brush shaped like half moon when i press it on paper. Whenever i draw with it, i have to shape it with water again.

I can't draw leaves with it. =(

Any tips ?

[yanghaiying]

I guess you pressed too strong. Try with lighter hand. Thank you.

[JasminePulse]

@yanghaiying Yeah, and i saw the other video of yours. It was sooo helpful because i learned that the brush should absorb moderate ink to be able to stand straight. Thank you for your videos. Today i've done some painting, but they aren't so good so far. =)

Dear YangHaiYing:

Or my brushes are very poor in quality, or I am too bad at it :( My strokes usually doesn't look nice, on the contrary, too thick although using a thin brush...

Some advice? XIèxie nǐ!

[yanghaiying]

Practice. I will do a video to explain you in detail.

[saadhamza1]

i was looking at the calligraphy pens, and i bought one. it doesnt do stuff like go from a think to a thin line. its all really just thin. i think a calligraphy pen is for other types of calligraphy

[saadhamza1]

i have 2 questions.

1. could you use a paint brush for calligraphy?

2. what is the difference between a calligraphy brush and a calligraphy pen?

[yanghaiying]

1. Yes.

2. I discuss this matter with many calligraphers and painters. Each person has his own perference. It is a personal matter.

[yanghaiying]

I use Chinese painting color and Chinese ink. I will send you the link of my online shop. Thank you for passing by.

[ratso9]

Haiying, it would be possible to know how the calligraphy brush is made (the stage of assembly) in your next travel to China ?

[yanghaiying]

There is actually a documentary detailing the process of brush making. I just could not find it now.

[Chichiri520]

When the brushes are new and unused, how can one tell if it is either a calligraphy brush or painting brush?

[yanghaiying]

Every time I ask someone about brush, I got a different answer. It is kind of confusing, but actually it is more clarifing for me than before. Brushes are for us to use. It is a personal preferrence. Some like soft for calligraphy, some like hard. I can not judge which is for what. I am sorry there is no clear answer here.

[Chichiri520]

It's alright. Thank you for your kind reply anyway.

But here is an example. Would I be able to use a Bamboo orchid for calligraphy?

[rperaltar]

In western calligraphy, a quill pen is used since one can customize the width of the lines used. Also, how one holds the pen also affects the line width.

[mafurock33]

Very interesting !! :) I study calligraphy
