Description
An Introduction to Chinese Calligraphy by Lucien X. Polastron and Jiaojia Ouyang is a comprehensive guide to the basics of Chinese calligraphy. With 142 photos and step-by-step lessons, this book provides a clear introduction to the history and techniques of this beautiful art form.
Begin by learning the history and traditions of Chinese calligraphy, and the techniques of using the "four treasures" - the brush and other basic tools. You'll learn how to hold the brush correctly and practice calligraphy in the Kaishu style, with clear instructions and easy exercises to guide you.
Start with 19 basic strokes, then combine them to write Chinese characters, and finally, four chengyu (proverbs). A selection of calligraphy artworks by contemporary artists is also included to inspire you as you develop your skills.
