In Chinese traditional culture, calligraphy and seal cutting are two important forms of art. As essential tools for these two forms of art, the role of inkstick cannot be ignored. This article will explore in detail the application and skills of inkstick in calligraphy and seal cutting.
II. The Application of Inkstick in Calligraphy 1. Material Selection and Preparation Selecting the right inkstick is the key. High-quality inkstick has bright and even color, as well as good adhesion and durability. In calligraphy, red or black inkstick is usually used. After preparing the inkstick, clean the surface of the seal to avoid affecting its clarity. 2. Skills in Use In calligraphy, the skills of using inkstick are mainly reflected in the pressure and angle of pressing. The control of pressure is crucial for the clarity and fullness of the seal. The choice of angle determines the shape and effect of the seal. In addition, using an appropriate speed is also the key. Too fast may lead to blurred seal, while too slow may cause ink diffusion. III. The Application of Inkstick in Seal Cutting 1. Material Selection and Preparation The requirements for inkstick in seal cutting are more stringent. High-quality seal cutting inkstick should have good plasticity and fineness to better fill the details of the seal. In addition, attention should be paid to the drying degree of the inkstick, which will affect the seal cutting effect if it is too wet or too dry. 2. Skills in Use In seal cutting, the skills of using inkstick are mainly reflected in the processing of details. By controlling pressure and angle, we can better fill the groove part of the seal, making it more full and three-dimensional. In addition, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate speed and rhythm to avoid deformation or blurring of the seal caused by excessive force or speeding up. IV. Precautions: 1. Keep Clean: Keep the seal and inkstick clean during use to avoid impurities affecting the effect. 2. Replace Timely: When the inkstick is dry or the color fades, replace it with a new one in time. 3. Moderate Use: Avoid excessive use that may cause wear or deformation of the seal.下一篇:印泥保养与维护技巧
