    This is beautiful work! I am new and struggling with loading my brush correctly. I start the stroke with too much ink and run out of ink before I finish. Any thoughts?

    • @OASart
      @OASart Před měsícem

      Work more decisively. When you linger too long on the stroke the moisture in the brush will flow into the paper. Move with your arm or full body through the stroke faster and more decisively and this should solve your problem.

    I would also love to see more calligraphy demos. As an adult it is hard to find somewhere to learn Chinese outside of a university. Where I live in particular. I don't want to start off learning Pinyin! I want to start with Mandarin and everything I have found says it's Mandarin but it's not! It's simplified Chinese! I wanted to learn it to better understand the Chinese costume dramas I love AND of course the painting style I started learning because of them! I have found books to teach Mandarin and reading it is easy for me (is that weird? That reading Chinese was super easy for me? It's just like memorizing pictures to me so it was super easy to pick up). But the books don't show the characters actually being written so I haven't really tried. They tell you the order that they are drawn in, like horizontal go first before verticals and all that, but it's not the same as seeing it done!

    • @OASart
      @OASart Před měsícem

      Thanks for your feedback, encouragement and sharing your story about your motivation to learn the traditional Chinese characters! It is very helpful to share that you find find reading mandarin easy because you recognize the characters as simple pictures!

  • @LordCthulhu01
    @LordCthulhu01 Před měsícem

    • @OASart
      @OASart Před měsícem

      You can become whatever you desire. Start with believing and affirmed that you already are a master. What does feel like to possess such mastery? Once you have grown comfortable in this feeling you will be inspired to the actions that will reshape your current reality into that which you desire. Of course if you are looking for more practical advice, you can take advantage of the world class materials and instruction available on our website at orientalartsupply.com. Practice the basics from a good feeling place and celebrate your small advances. The process will pick up momentum and sooner that you know it, you will have become what you desire! Happy Painting! Enjoy the journey - it is the best part of the experience!

    Why is my ink getting smudged on Chinese paper?

    • @OASart
      @OASart Před měsícem

      This could be due to a number of factors and it also is a little unclear about what you mean by smudged. Do you mean that when you rub the ink, it smudges or do you mean that after you apply the stroke the stroke expands in a way that is not desirable. Either way we would be happy to help you resolve this. The best way is to go to our website at orientalartsupply.com and send us a message with a picture of what you are experiencing.
