is it a good idea to learn chinese calligraphy/ink painting

[jce]

I am definitely one for Chinese calligraphy. So much to learn about control through that and teaches the child the beauty of chinese characters.

Any school to recommend for Chinese brush painting for young children ?

Yes, calligraphy is my \"thing\", I don't do 水墨画 though...


I practice on 宣纸 but am not sure where to get in SG, I stock from Taiwan.

Lately, I am into 「狂书」 :boogie:

Do you mean 宣纸 (xuan1 zhi3)? I saw Popular selling them. You can use the calligraphy exercise books too, also can be found at Popular or other bookstores.

I got this too from Berries.

But bear in mind water pens require diff grip from 书法 brushes。I learnt 书法和水墨画for several yrs when I was in pr sch. U need to grip the brush in a specific way and no arm or elbow rest for 书法。Very siong! But we used to play cheat by resting elbow on table. Usually after ink has dried up.
