Hi Amr,
Sorry for replying late! I normally like using weasel hair brush to do Yan’s regular script style (*smaller size) because weasel hair is stiff and therefore, for me I feel it is easy to control the flow of strokes in order to make all the strokes flowing regularly and under control. And, I particular like the special elegant feeling of small size regular scripts, especially Zhao MengFu’s style. (Well, the calligraphy style is really a very personal preference. 🙂 )
For the combination hair brush you mentioned, I tested some Combination Hair brushes for this 10cm size and found that this set suits me well.
For me, I like the #2 and #3 for size of 10 cm. The #2’s brush hair size is 5.3 * 1.2 cm and the #3 is 4.3 * 1 cm. The Red Star official guide recommends these combination hair brushes for both regular scripts and grass cursive scripts. This also works fine for semi-cursive, certainly.
The Zi Hao Rabbit hair brush you have is a bit too stiff to do the style you want. I like using that brush for small scale regular script. And I particular like using it for painting. 🙂 The hair size for your brush is only 3 * 0.7 cm. It is a bit too small for the 10cm size calligraphy. 🙂
Hope this is helpful! And sorry for being late on this reply because I needed some time to try out these brushes. 🙂
kindest regards,
Yan
