Beside the Uniqueness of it, I've always felt that Chinese Calligraphy and Kanji, have this of Discipline and Order in them, I was just watching Wang Duo calligraphy and I'm really fascinated by it, they combine Flexibility and Loose line and a Very Controlled Motion at the same time! I'm From Egypt, in the Calligraphy have always been a hobby for me, Regardless the Language, But Arabic/ Persian and Asian Calligraphy for me were the Best! Greetings from Egypt!:)

how do you make ink? I am kind of curious, the stone looks like a silver block, or a stone covered in foil. It is really cool that you can make supplies yourself. I always look forward to your videos.

@fireclan You can find a video clip called "Amy's Demo: How to Make Handmade Sumi Ink with Inkstick and Inkstone " in my channel that will shows you everything. Thank you for asking.

ummm i hav a question can i use regular water color paint for the color plzzz answer I'm interested in doing this kind of art work

[blueheronarts]

@lilmantt1992 Yes, certain regular watercolors are ok to be used on absorbent rice paper, but for best result use Marie's Chinese painting colors, which are available at our online store. Western watercolor tends to bleed when rewet during wet mounting or stretching. So you need stretch either before painting, or use silicone dry-mounting paper to mount it in order to avoid color running.
