美麗由心生 (Beauty comes from the inner heart.) This is a tip of practicing Chinese calligraphy - observe masterpieces carefully and then practice.

Thanks.

mei li you xin sheng....

I observed that from your Art.

Thank you.

I have one question...

Do you read Traditional characters or Simplified?

I read the simplified.

[artvirtue]

I read both, but I do practice calligraphy with only Traditional characters to observe the beauty and aesthetics of Chinese calligraphy in its original spirits - and this is the norm in China too.

[chinotan0628]

ohhh.....

Thats great....

I also someday wish to be able to read and write

traditional characters properly...

[chinotan0628]

You will serve as my inspiration.

[artvirtue]

I always share with others who admire Chinese calligraphy and painting - the inspiration is within you and from observing the historical masterpieces.

Thank you :)
